10 defensive line prospects for the Eagles to watch at 2023 Senior Bowl

The NFL draft starts in Mobile, and even with the Eagles preparing to face the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, all eyes this week will be on Alabama, for the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl.

Philadelphia has one of the NFL’s defensive lines, but Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Ndamukong Suh, Linval Joseph, Robert Quinn, and Javon Hargrave can all be free agents after the Super Bowl.

With 18+ Eagles set to hit unrestricted free agency, Howie Roseman could look to upgrade the defensive line via the NFL Draft.

With kickoff from Mobile just 24 hours away, here are ten defensive linemen to watch at the Senior Bowl on Saturday.

Carter is a physical marvel at 6-foot-7 and 260 pounds.

At the next level, he’ll need to improve his burst off the edge and show that he can be a force against the run.

McDonald plays with a lot of explosions and he’s bulked up his 6-foot-3 and 241-pound frame.

McDonald has been the best pure pass rusher in Mobile with his combination of speed and the ability to bend at the top of his rush.

Brooks played defensive end in college, but he played defensive tackle during Senior Bowl practices.

Brooks looked explosive as a pass rusher.

The Auburn pass rusher has all the tools and big-game experience to join an already-loaded rotation.

Henry started all 14 games, logging 59 tackles, including nine stops for loss. He also broke up six passes and led the team with 24 quarterback pressures – the most by a Clemson player since Clelin Ferrell’s 24 in 2016.

Henry was a first-team All-ACC selection by the Associated Press and would fit the Eagles’ pressure scheme.

He’s no Fletcher Cox, but the Bulldogs’ defensive tackle has the talent to continue the tradition.

Young appeared and started in all 13 games in 2022, finishing with 37 tackles including 3.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks
