It doesn’t get much better than the rookie season that Miles Sanders turned in for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019. It isn’t often that first-year guys pass proven talents like DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy in a team’s record books, but that’s exactly what “26” did.

Jordan Howard is gone. Sanders is the man now, and despite setting two team records right out the gate, “26” can improve. Here’s one of those draft choices that Philly got right. This guy is going to be great for a long time.

54. . . . Andre Dillard, left tackle. 1. player

Andre Dillard has a lot of work to do if he’s going to make people stop talking about how great Jason Peters is for a while. There’s been discussion about whether or not Andre Dillard is as good as we all thought he was. Keep in mind the fact that he was graded as the second-best tackle in 2019’s draft by more than just one person.

He’s sensitive. That’s a concern, but if this guy can put it all together, he may have the highest ceiling of anyone on this list and that includes Miles Sanders.
