Brian Baldinger leans offensive line for the Eagles’ first pick at No. 23

Key Points:

• NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger suggests the Eagles may target a developmental offensive tackle like Utah’s Caleb Lomu with the 23rd overall pick due to their aging offensive line; Lomu is a 19-year-old with promising pass protection skills but still developing overall.
• Baldinger also mentions the possibility of selecting edge rusher Derrick Moore in the second round, though neither prospect is expected to start immediately but could develop into starters over time.
• With potential roster changes, including the likely departure of A.J. Brown, the Eagles might prioritize adding a tight end such as Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq to support Jalen Hurts, especially given the new tight end-centric offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
• Other prospects Baldinger highlights include Georgia Tech guard Keylan Rutledge as a potential third-round pick who could start quickly, and Penn State quarterback Drew Allar, who has a strong arm and could develop into an NFL starter with proper coaching.
• Linebacker Josiah Trotter, projected as a second or third-round pick, is noted for his strong work ethic and NFL bloodlines, with potential as a long-term starter despite some coverage concerns.
