Offensive line is one area that the Philadelphia Eagles need to address in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.
Lane Johnson is likely headed for retirement in the near future, and the Eagles will need to identify a replacement for the franchise legend.
However, the Eagles have been urged to avoid one particular player in the first round of the draft.
Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report advised the Eagles against picking Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu due to a lack of perceived physicality.
"Finding a successor for Lane Johnson has to be on the Eagles to-do list over the next two years. The 35-year-old is coming back for his 14th season, but the Eagles have to prepare for life without him,"ย Ballentine wrote.
"Caleb Lomu is generally considered a first-round prospect, but he doesn't necessarily make sense for the Eagles. ...ย If the Eagles are planning on taking Johnson's successor then a more physical presence like Kadyn Proctor, Monroe Freeling or Blake Miller would make more sense."
