With some movement by the guys we have now, the offensive line is fine and really doesn’t need to be addressed until the second day of the draft, if at all.
Todd Herremans or Shawn Andrews should be able to play left tackle while either Herremans, Cole, or Jean-Gilles play one of the guard spots. Jackson is fine at center but should receive some competition from Nick Cole or a rookie, leaving Stacy Andrews as the starter at right tackle.
And from what I hear, Stacy should be just fine for training camp.
We have a lot of young guys with tons of potential who could push for time in Winston Justice (haven’t given up on him just yet), Mike McGlynn, King Dunlap, and Mike Gibson. If one of them isn’t starting, they should make fine backups.
Offensive line is really the only position on the team that would be difficult to upgrade and really can be put on a backburner as far as I’m concerned. However I would welcome any player Reid believes to be an upgrade. We question Reid on a lot of things, but one thing he definitely knows is his linemen.
In all, the Eagles offense should be extremely explosive and hard to handle for opposing defenses with just a few slight tweaks here and there. If the right moves are move in the draft or through trades, the offense should once again be in the top five. Focusing on running the ball is key. Without a good running game, it’s difficult for an offense to operate.
One or two moves here and there and this offense could be the best that the Andy Reid-era has ever seen.
