Looking at the NFL draft prospect the Eagles should covet the most after 2022 Senior Bowl

The NFL draft starts in Mobile, Alabama and after college football’s top seniors all congregated for the annual all-star game, there are plenty of elite prospects for Howie Roseman to turn his attention towards.

Whether it’s an edge rusher, wide receiver, safety, linebacker, wide receiver, or offensive line, Philadelphia has plenty of needs and three first-round picks available to address them.

Bleacher Report recently took a look at the one NFL prospect that all 32 teams should covet post-Senior Bowl, and athletic University of Kentucky offensive guard, Darian Kinnard landed on the list for the Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ best path forward on offense is to build and market themselves as a physical team with a bruising ground game.

Utilizing one of their five top-100 picks on the 6’5″, 324-pound Darian Kinnard (scouting report) out of Kentucky would be a good step toward building that brand. Brandon Brooks—who has similar dimensions—has announced his retirement.

Kinnard is a versatile player, with a physical demeanor that would fit with Jeff Stoutland’s culture, and fared well in one on matchups with some of the top edge rushers at the Senior Bowl.

An All-American and All-SEC performer, Kinnard can play right tackle efficiently as well.
