Underrated potential 1st-round Eagles prospects at every position

Here are a handful of other potential offensive prospects worth noting, but how realistic of a shot do they have at being Eagles?

As mentioned earlier, we can rule a quarterback and wide receivers out as possible first-round options. Who knows how serious the Eagles are about adding an offensive lineman, but we have to be thorough. Here are some names to remember if you haven’t already been monitoring them during the pre-draft process.

Wide receiver: Quentin Johnston, TCU

Have you noticed we haven’t discussed wide receivers very much? DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown have successfully driven wedges in the revolving doors, but there may still be a need to add a depth piece at some point.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State) and Jordan Addison (USC) are popular conversation pieces, but Quentin Johnston might be the most talented prospect in the class. He seemingly hasn’t been mentioned as often as you’d expect the draft’s best wide receiver to be. Playing at a school that isn’t a traditional power may have something to do with that.

Tight ends: Michael Mayer, Notre Dame

How many of you can name ten tight ends in this draft class? Yep! That’s what we thought.

Here’s a bit of a cheat sheet. Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer might be the best prospect in this class. The next three guys on the list, Dalton Kincaid (Utah), Darnell Washington (Georgia), and Luke Musgrave (Oregon State) all feel like guys that need to be taken in Round 2.

Offensive tackle: Tyler Steen, Alabama

The Eagles have already hosted offensive tackles Peter Skoronski (Northwestern) and Paris Johnson (Ohio State) for top-30 pre-draft visits. They could be available at ten depending on how the draft unfolds, but they most certainly won’t be available at 30.

Seemingly, the third-best tackle in this class is Tyler Sheen out of Alabama. It will be interesting to see how he’s valued at the end of April.

Interior offensive linemen: (TIE) Broderick Jones, Georgia/Steve Avila, TCU

If the Eagles are interested in adding a depth piece for pro football’s best offensive line at the 30th-overall selection, they can potentially add Broderick Jones (Georgia) or Steve Avila (TCU). They may be able to trade back and add them.

If there is any interest, both are versatile. Broderick Jones played offensive tackle for Georgia but probably grades out as a guard at the pro level. Steve Avila played center but can play all three positions along the O-line’s interior, and we know how much Jeff Stoutland loves guys with versatility.
