The Eagles could move on from center Jason Kelce and guard Allen Barbre this offseason. If that ends up being the case, the team will need to draft an interior lineman. With Isaac Seumalo likely to fill in at center, the Eagles’ best bet would be to draft a guard.

They won’t have to look far for one either.

Dion Dawkins (no relation to Brian Dawkins) is a New Jersey native and played his college ball at Philadelphia’s Temple University. Dawkins is a versatile linemen with a prototypical NFL frame and can play either tackle or guard. He excels as a blocker on both running and passing plays and regularly finishes his assignment.

It’s not always easy to get excited about on offensive lineman, but Dawkins’ film is quite a treat (Dawins [66] plays mainly left tackle and left guard here).

Dawkins should be available in the second round and would fit in well on the Eagles’ offensive line.
