Howie Roseman’s spending spree seems to have paid off for the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line, at least on paper.
Pro Football Focus ranked all the offensive lines Tuesday and the Eagles checked in at No. 7.
Last year’s much-maligned unit saw drastic changes during the offseason, signing mammoth guard Brandon Brooks to a massive contract to go along with center Stefen Wisniewski.
The Eagles own a line that is likely to improve over last year due to upgrades among both their starters and backups. Philadelphia’s two lowest-graded linemen from last season, Matt Tobin and Dennis Kelly, played a combined 1,400 snaps, which should only happen again if there are multiple injuries along the line. They added Brandon Brooks (Texans), who has improved his pass-blocking each year, and at his best, is among the better run-blocking guards in the league. Wisniewski has graded well in the past, and will compete for a starting job—or at the very least, be the team’s top backup.
