Eagles’ OL lands at No. 1 ahead of Cowboys in revised rankings from Pro Football Focus

The Philadelphia Eagles finished the 2018 NFL season with one of the top offensive lines in the NFL and after an offseason of retooling and first-round additions, the Birds are the cream of the crop upfront when it comes to offensive lines units around the NFL.

Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus released a revised ranking of the top offensive lines in the NFL and Philadelphia landed on top, followed by their NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys.

1. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
They’re ranked first even without factoring in rookie tackle Andre Dillard, who looks like he’s already the most talented backup tackle in the NFL. This preseason he earned an 83.8 pass-blocking grade on 75 passing snaps.

The Steelers, Titans, and Colts.

For the Eagles, future Hall of Famer, Jason Peters will start at left tackle, while Isaac Seumalo with start at left guard and Jason Kelce at center. Brandon Brooks should start at right guard, but if he can’t go, Halapoulivaati Vaitai will man the position next to all-world right tackle Lane Johnson.

All this conversation about the Eagles offensive line is taking place without even putting a grade on first-round pick Andre Dillard, who could start now if need.
