The Eagles are entering a new day at the left tackle position and the loss of Jason Peters has been resounding so far this offseason.
Offensive tackle is almost second to quarterback in terms of importance, and the 2020 NFL Draft provided proof with five offensive tackles coming off the board over the first 18 picks of the first round.
Pro Football Focus recently listed the top-5 offensive tackle duos in the NFL and unlike past years, the Philadelphia Eagles weren’t represented on the list.
With Peters moving on in free agency, Andre Dillard has been tasked with replacing the legend. The fact that the Eagles have spent the entire offseason flirting with Peters indicates that someone in the NovaCare Complex isn’t necessarily sold on Dillard as the left tackle of the future.
The Saints duo of left tackle Terron Armstead and right tackle Ryan Ramczyk landed in the No. 1 spots, followed by the Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith and right tackle La’el Collins.
