Interior offensive line options
Greg Johnson, Minnesota
Depending on how they feel about tackle, the interior of the offensive line could be an even bigger priority next April for the Eagles.
Dickerson is currently on IR and has been battling injuries for some time, and right guard Tyler Steen is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
When healthy, Dickerson is a top-five guard in the league. So the Eagles will definitely hope to have him back in 2027. Steen, however, is just a solid starting guard in the league. The free-agent market for guards can be difficult to navigate. Top players command massive contracts, while others can be left waiting for more affordable deals, as was the case with Chris Paul and the Commanders.
If Steen ends up going elsewhere or Dickerson is too questionable long-term, the Eagles could look for a guard early in the 2027 class. Greg Johnson would be an excellent fit for Philadelphia with his size and versatility.
Johnson primarily plays guard, but he spent a full season as Minnesota's center, and has started and finished games at both tackle spots as well.
While I have more of a top-50 grade on Johnson, things are currently trending toward him being a first-round pick. Either way, the Eagles will have to consider him early to add him to the roster.
With the uncertainty surrounding Dickerson's health and Steen's future, Johnson's ability to play multiple positions could make him especially valuable to Philadelphia.
Austin Siereveld, Ohio State
If the Eagles bring back Steen and feel confident in the health of Dickerson, they should still look to add depth at guard in the draft.
Austin Siereveld played left tackle in 2025 and is now the right tackle for Ohio State, but the Buckeyes initially intended for him to play guard, which would be his best position in the NFL.
Siereveld is a strong and aggressive blocker who has some movement skills as a puller. He's held up well at tackle in college with his technique and strength, but he'll be best utilized in the NFL on the inside with his below-average foot speed.
Siereveld will be a serviceable offensive line piece for a long time in the NFL because of his strength, mentality, and versatility. The Eagles could draft him as a versatile backup in the third or fourth round and could eventually count on him to start if needed.
That would allow Philadelphia to add insurance along the interior without necessarily spending a premium pick on a player who needs to start immediately.
Despite not taking an offensive lineman in the first two rounds in any of the last four drafts, the Eagles have some intriguing prospects to evaluate this season. No one can be fully prepared for the in-season changes Philadelphia just encountered, but Roseman put interesting pieces in place over the last two drafts to mitigate the losses as best he could.
It's certainly possible the Eagles emerge from the 2026 season with two new long-term starters in Kendall and Bell. If that happens, and Dickerson and Steen are back next year, Roseman will have the flexibility to address other needs in the 2027 NFL Draft.
But if one or more of those players have a cloudy forecast for 2027, there are several routes they can take in the draft to fill in the holes.
But if either player struggles, or the uncertainty surrounding Dickerson and Steen continues, Philadelphia could find itself investing another premium draft pick in the offensive line.
