Keegan or Zinter if want another G

Zinter at RG would be ideal when Jurgens moves to C next year. Probably available late RD2-RD3. Road grader in run blocking with quick feet and has improved quite a bit in his pass blocking this season.

Johnson has at least two more seasons of good to great play left in him. His replacement can be drafted in 2025.

Steen would still be next man up at G or T which isn't terrible.

Tyler Steen is likely going to stick at G, so we need OTs more. It will be nice to have more size at RG, but Steen has a lot to clean up.

Looking at the differences between the Eagles and Cowboys schedules so far this year and the difference in the strengths of victory. Cowboys of course have only played 2 playoff teams and lost both times in addition to losing to the team with the second worst record in the league right now. Eagles have played and beat 4 teams that are going to be in the playoffs (Vikings, Dolphins Cowboys and Chiefs). Now the Eagles are going to be facing 3-4 more teams that will be playoff teams (Seahawks might miss).  If they run the table on these teams and end the season 7-0 or 8-0 against teams that made the playoffs that same season then that has to be close or breaking some NFL record.  Plus you throw in the possibility of The Bucs winning the NFC South and it makes that number of wins go higher.

 

Looking quickly over a few teams that I would think would be in the conversation of such a record and how they ended up doing:

1998 Denver Broncos 4-0 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2001 Rams 7-0 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2004 Patriots 5-1 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2005 Colts 5-0 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2013 Seahawks 2-2 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2007 Patriots: 6-0 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

2013 Broncos 4-3 in regular season games against eventual playoff teams.

Average IOL class , none worthy of a day one pick imo , handful of late day two picks 

elite QB and OT class though 

horrible ilb class

How about CB, Edge Rusher and TE?

That is a good reason that I hope that Kelce comes back for one more season in 2024 and Jurgens plays that season again at RG.  With Steen as IOL depth, that is very stable.

Eagles released a NFL Films style recap of the Chiefs game with Kelce mic'd up.  This is the type of content that should be on NFL Network again.

I think there are a couple of T that project as IOL, the guy Barton? from Duke for sure.

Cedric Thornton, Defensive Coordinator for Grambling. Didn't know that. Always liked him, thought he could contribute more if given the chance.

If the Eagles are going to draft at Tackle, he definitely should be a player who projects a career at Tackle, not conversion to IOL.  But with that Eagles-specific point made, your overall point is correct.

After this season?  I don't think so.  I think he has better potential as the primary swing tackle backup to Mailata and Lane.  All reports from the summer was how much better he looked at tackle than guard.  There's also the chance that Kelce comes back for another year so Jurgens would stay at RG anyway. Although it seems likely all odds are on this being Kelce's final season.

I could see them using a pick on WR and RB with two of their four picks in the first three rounds.  Although chances are also that Howie trades for a player or uses those picks as a package to trade up.

Howie gonna get Zinter in the 3rd

Still think Zinter can go in RD2. It's a bad iOL class and if Dickerson with his injuries can go top 40, Zinter can go top 60.
