The Eagles continued to load up on Alabama talent on the offensive side of the ball, adding lineman Tyler Steen at No. 65 overall, NBCSPhilly has the details.
“He's a very athletic guy,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said of Steen in an SI.com story. “He's got really good power for his size and is a good pass blocker. Very smart guy. Understands how to play fundamentally, use his hands, and has played pretty consistently for us.”
In the last four drafts, the Eagles have drafted four players out of Georgia in the first three rounds and four players out of Alabama in the first three rounds, although one of them – Jalen Hurts – finished at Oklahoma. Steen, who stands 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, only played one year at Alabama after beginning his college football career at Vanderbilt. He actually started out at Vanderbilt as a defensive end and played four games in the fall of 2018 on the defensive line.
He moved to right tackle the next year and then settled in at left tackle in his third season, earning all-SEC honors both years.The Eagles needed to address offensive line depth after losing starting guard Isaac Seumalo to the Steelers in free agency and Andre Dillard to the Titans without attempting to re-sign either one.
That left the Eagles with Sua Opeta and Jack Driscoll as their only true experienced backup offensive linemen.
