Blake Miller, OT, Clemson<\/p>\n

Eric Edholm (NFL.com):<\/a> “Miller checks a lot of boxes with his size (6-foot-6 3\/4, 317 pounds) and experience (54 college starts), and the Eagles have to continue reinforcing their offensive line.”<\/p>\n

Mel Kiper Jr. (ESPN):<\/a> “The Eagles don’t typically let future needs become current problems. General manager Howie Roseman is tactful in how he keeps the roster stocked with depth and future replacements.”<\/p>\n

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz (CBS Sports):<\/a> “Amid all the uncertainty in Philadelphia at some more high-profile spots, this sets up to be a classic Howie Roseman class in getting ahead of the curve. The long-awaited successor to Lane Johnson emerges in Miller, who doesn’t offer the same positional flexibility as some of his counterparts but boasts the frame, length and athleticism to be a fixture at right tackle.”<\/p>\n

Matt Miller (ESPN):<\/a> “No team drafts ahead of need better than Philadelphia, which makes its offensive line situation confusing. … Miller was not brought in for a predraft workout with the Eagles, per a source close to the player, but that shouldn’t be an indicator of their interest given his profile of 53 career starts.”<\/p>\n

Field Yates (ESPN):<\/a> “Right tackle Lane Johnson confirmed in February that he’s back for 2026, but the Eagles have a chance to do what general manager Howie Roseman has consistently done: address “wants” before they become “musts.” Miller logged nearly 3,700 career snaps as a four-year starter at Clemson, and he gave up only nine pressures and two sacks in 2025.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blake Miller, OT, Clemson Eric Edholm (NFL.com): “Miller checks a lot of boxes with his size (6-foot-6 3\/4,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[31803,1792,2196,69,71,70,2197],"class_list":{"0":"post-173913","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-2026-nfl-draft","9":"tag-all-news-archived","10":"tag-nfl-com-feature","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-headlines","13":"tag-philadelphia-news","14":"tag-team-roster-content"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
