One offensive tackle for the Eagles in every round of the 2023 NFL draft

The Eagles are set to retool the offensive line after losing a key contributor and a Pro Bowl-caliber starter in Isaac Suemalo.

The expectation is that former Nebraska center and 2021 second-round pick Cam Jurgens will slide to right guard.

Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman could decide to draft a more natural fit for the position to compete against Jurgens while adding more depth to the NFL’s most talented position group.

The Eagles have studs at the offensive tackle position, with Lane Johnson (RT) as the best at his job.

Jordan Mailata has Pro Bowl potential at left tackle and is a mauler and Jalen Hurts’ personal protector.

With the NFL draft quickly approaching, we’re looking at one offensive tackle in every round of the selection process.

Skoronski is a steady, reliable tackle prospect who is athletic enough to slide down to the guard position.

A star at Northwestern, Skoronski would chart a similar path to that of Cam Jurgens in 2022, and he’d likely see time at guard and tackle while developing under Jeff Stoutland.

Skoronski could be a better fit at guard than tackle, even though he started 33 games at left tackle in college.

The All-American allowed 14 pressures on 449 pass-blocking snaps in 2022, fitting what Eagles GM Howie Roseman likes.

A stud left tackle, the 6-4 310-pound Jones didn’t allow a sack in 2022 while also being one of the best run-blockers in the nation.

At the Senior Bowl, Mauch was named the National team’s OL Practice Player-of-Week by vote from his peers in National DL and LB groups.

Mauch played left tackle for the Bison but spent time at guard during the Senior Bowl.

An excellent athlete who plays with balance and awareness, Mauch fits what Philadelphia likes to do upfront.

Duncan was a three-time All-Big Ten honorable mention and offers intriguing speed and athleticism at the offensive tackle position.

Bergeron plays with strong fundamentals, fluidity, and a relentless motor.

The former Syracuse star can play both tackle positions.

An athletic offensive tackle with six years of playing experience, Ojukwu has been an All-Mountian West performer and earned some All-American honors this season.
