Eagles Offseason Preview



This is a preview of the Eagles offseason.
QB- They gave Mike Vick the franchise QB money in the offseason so he is their franchise QB.
RB- Lesean McCoy exploded last year and made a case that he could be the best RB in the NFL. Ronnie Brown is a free agent but that is no big loss. They will probably draft a running back late in the draft for depth.
WR- This position had its ups and downs. Desean Jackson and Steve Smith are free agents and neither are expected to be back. Steve Smith was clearly not the same player and fell down to 5th on the depth chart when he got hurt. Desean Jackson was a distraction for most of the year and like every NFL insider will tell you don't expect Desean back. Expect them to draft a speed receiver in the mid rounds.
TE- After having a disappointing year Brent Celek had a bounce back year. All they need is depth maybe a more athletic TE.
OL- This unit drastically improved as the year went on. Evan Mathis had a good year last year and don't expect the Eagles to over pay for him. The Eagles will either in the mid to early rounds for a guard or add a RT and move Todd Herremans back to his natural guard position.
DL- This is one of the most talented d-line's in the NFL. As the year went on they got more and more pressure on the passer. Antonio Dixon and Trevor Laws are free agents expect Dixon back as he is more of a run stopper.
LB- This unit struggled for most of the year. Look for them either early in the draft or in free agency to add an impact linebacker.
DB- Even though this was one of the most talented unit in the NFL it struggled thought the year. Look for everyone to get better with experience. However the team could move Assante Samuel to get picks or improve at other positions. In the mid rounds expect them to take a safety.
