AI-Generated Summary

On this edition of the Locked On Eagles podcast, hosts Louis DiBiase and Ross Jackson dive into the 2026 NFL Draft with a deep-dive analysis of the offensive line and tight end classes from a Philadelphia Eagles perspective. The episode centers on the idea that the Eagles may prioritize offensive line and tight end in the first three rounds, even over wide receivers, due to long-term needs around protecting Jalen Hurts and replacing key players like Dallas Goddard and Lane Johnson. The hosts break down each position with 'superlatives'—identifying the top prospect, safest pick, highest-ceiling boomer bust, best scheme fit, and diamond in the rough. Kenyon Sadiq emerges as the clear 'king of the hill' at tight end, with a strong case for a trade-up, while Oscar Delp from Georgia is praised as the ideal scheme fit. On the offensive line, Francis Maui Joa is the consensus top tackle, but Monroe Freeling and Blake Miller are highlighted as top trade-up targets. The episode also explores the potential for a guard like Chase Basantis or Kalen Rutledge to be a key second-round pick. The hosts emphasize that Howie Roseman’s willingness to zig when others zag—such as drafting a tight end early—could signal a strategic shift in the Eagles’ draft philosophy.

High-Impact Quotes
Monroe Freeling just feels like a Philadelphia Eagle. I think if they could choose one guy from this offensive line class in a vacuum to pick, if they had free range of any of these guys, maybe it's Maui Joa, but I think Monroe Freeling is atop their board.

Kenyon Sadiq is not going to fall to 23. But man, it would be exciting to think about three years in a row. Howie Roseman kind of goes against the grain of what he traditionally does.
