Expert Commentary
The Eagles might look to move down a bit here, but they are going to look at only a few positions early in the draft, one of those positions being offensive line. Not sure if you heard, but the Eagles' starting center has recently retired, and while they already have Jason Kelce’s successor on the roster in 2022 second-round pick Cam Jurgens, Barton gives Philadelphia and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland more options and another potential multi-position starter to build around. Barton played left tackle in college, but will move to the interior once he enters the NFL (he has playing time at center in college, too), with the right guard position being wide open for him to start at in Philadelphia. Barton will continue to make the line a strength of this Eagles franchise.
