The NFL network expert, Brian Baldinger, who has one of the most lively eyes with regard to the draft of the NFL and the interior line game, recently put a few minutes to discuss the way Eagles could look in the draft of the NFL 2025 on Thursday.
Baldinger sees the Eagles responding to a need on the defensive line, where Bryce Huff was an abject failure as a rusher on board, disappearing from the face of the earth, and lost both Josh sweat in the free agency, signing with the Cardinals of Arizona and reconnecting the old DC Jonathan Gannon, Dc Jonathan Gannon and Milton Williams, Another free agent, Casualty, for the New England Patriotes and their fire, 10 years old. agreement.
The Eagles tried to strengthen the advantage with the signatures of the free agents Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari a year of provants, and everyone had moments in their brief career when they shone, but Baldinger raises the point that it is a profound project on the defensive line.
“To keep the D-Line rotation strong, the first priority I see for the Eagles is the defensive line, and the second priority would be the tight end,” said Baldinger. “It is an excellent project for the defensive line and for tight ends. It does not seem that they will sign Dallas Goedert (to an extension) with his injury history and the Eagles sent Brent Celek to the combination of the NFL to interview tight ends, and I think that Brent interviewed them. You can find very good ends tight in the first three rounds.
“Eagles try to keep as much talent as Jalen hurts as possible.”
Baldinger likes the defender of 6 feet 5 inches and 243 pounds of Tennessee, James Pearce, who is described as an explosive pass rusher, who can bypass the blocks, and can descend a ball carrier in space, but needs work in the department of force, and will have trouble against longer physical tackles.
“Pearce is one of the best 15 choices, and if it falls, it will be difficult to pass,” said Baldinger. “It is the defensive end 4-3 prototypical. There are questions about him, however, some things that make people nervous at the idea of taking him. Darius Alexander, out of Toledo, is also a possibility. It is a defensive tackle of 6-4, 305 pounds and it seems to replace Milton Williams inside, and another guy I love is JT Tuimoloau de l’Ohio. To adjust the advantage, and it is size and power.
Baldinger has not excluded the safety of Malaki Starks, Georgia, or Xavier Watts of Notre-Dame, or Nick Emmanwori in South Carolina to be on the radar of Eagles. No security was taken in the first round last year.
“These guys have special ball skills, but with the deeper project on the defensive line, I think that’s where Eagles can go,” said Baldinger. If it didn’t come to me, I would take Darius Alexander, from Toledo. The Eagles struck gold with Quinon Mitchell de Toledo last year, and maybe they return to the well once again. The guarantee next to Jalen Carter is a great help for anyone. GOOD.”
