Here’s the verdict on the offensive line.

Nine guys are in, four tackles, four guards and Mr. Kelce.

Andre Dillard, Jason Peters, Lane Johnson, ‘Big V’ (We haven’t given up on him yet), Brandon Brooks, Isaac Seumalo, Matt Pryor, Stefen Wisniewski, Jason Kelce

Andre Dillard is probably the heir apparent to Jason Peters. Lane Johnson is a shoo-in to make this roster.

No one seems willing to give up on the rugby guy who started playing football a season ago (so we won’t either), but our hope is Jordan Mailata gets kicked inside and handles tackle duty in emergency situations.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai can play. He gets a raw deal a lot because no one wants to forget his failures, but he should be able to beat out the undrafted guys. We all know Pryor and Seumalo can play multiple positions. That makes each one invaluable.

Anthony Fabiano, Jason Kelce, and undrafted free agent Keegan Render are all listed at center on the current roster. One will make the team. Two won’t. We’ll let you argue among yourselves about who’s who.
