SUPERLATIVES: Vic Fangio ALL IN on Treydan Stukes as the Reed Blankenship replacement?

In this Tuesday edition of the Locked On Eagles podcast, host Louis DiBiase wraps up the team's superlatives series ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on safety and edge rusher positions. With the Eagles holding four picks in the top 100, the discussion centers on whether they’ll prioritize defense despite their strong defensive core. The host argues that while offensive needs are pressing due to upcoming contract changes, the depth at safety and edge rusher in this draft class makes it likely the Eagles will select at least one defensive player early. He highlights Ohio State’s Caleb Downs as the highest floor safety, but believes Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren has the highest ceiling. For scheme fit, Arizona’s Trayden Stooks is seen as Vic Fangio’s ideal pick. On the edge, David Bailey is called the king of the hill, but Reuben Bain is the floor lock. Malachi Lawrence from UCF is deemed the highest ceiling edge rusher, with R. Mason Thomas from Oklahoma praised as the best scheme fit. The episode also touches on defensive tackle, with Zane Durant and Caleb Proctor emerging as top targets for a future pass-rushing specialist. The show concludes with a call to action for listeners to join the Everydayer Club and tune in for live draft coverage.
