The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to land a stud wide receiver in the NFL Draft but depth for the league’s best offensive line must be addressed next week as well.
The Birds lost Jason Peters and Halapoulivaati Vaitai in free agency but will have 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard to take over the reins at left tackle.
With Brandon Brooks returning from injury, Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson a year older, the Eagles could start to look for reinforcements along the offensive line.
According to the Draft Wire, the Eagles held a virtual predraft meeting with Louisiana-Lafayette offensive tackle Robert Hunt.
Adding to this, Robert Hunt recently held pre-draft meetings over FaceTime with the #Rams, #Eagles, #Falcons, #Titans, #Ravens, #Patriots, #Bills, #Chiefs, #Bears, #Vikings, #Jets, #Giants & #Cardinals. https://t.co/ClNZACs7eu

The 6-foot-5, 323 pound Hunt has experience at guard and was a four-year starter for the Ragin’ Cajuns, but he’s raw and must improve his footwork if he wants to become a competent starter in the NFL.
