The Eagles' remaining holes to fill, post-draft, and who can fill them
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles have a significant need at the safety position, with their current roster featuring mostly unproven or discarded players, and no safety drafted until the seventh round.
- Eagles executive Howie Roseman acknowledged the need to improve the safety room but expressed some confidence in the current roster while noting work remains before the season starts.
- The safety market is weak across the NFL, with few viable free agents or trade candidates, but the Browns have a surplus of safeties and could be potential trade partners for the Eagles.
- The Eagles also face depth concerns on their interior offensive line, with key players dealing with injuries and limited backup options, prompting a likely need to add a veteran backup.
- Potential free agent targets for interior line depth include Mekhi Becton and James Daniels, with the Eagles looking to bolster experience before free agent signings stop counting toward compensatory picks.
