What's going on, everybody? Let's go. Let's get into it. Let's get on the clock with another edition of the GoBirds

0:13.4

2026 NFL draft preview. And today we're talking about, we did the offensive tackles yesterday.

0:20.1

Today we're going to go to the interior. A position of the Eagles really do need potential help with, maybe in that Tyler Steen spot, maybe for the future with Landon Dickerson. So when it comes to these positions, I always got to bring into experts. I'm not an interior breakdown guy. So I got one of the best out there. Emery Hunt, author of the football game plan

0:38.1

2026 draft guide. Emery, what up, man. How you doing? I'm doing fine, man. It's great to be on a show, bro. Excited to have you. So like I said, so you're from the Jersey area. I think, I think you said. I don't know how closely dug in you are with the Eagles, but the offensive line was not a good position for them last year.

0:56.0

After having an historic 2024 season, closely dug in you are with the Eagles. But the offensive line was not a good position for them

0:55.0

last year after having an historic 2024 season. And going into this year, you look at offensive

1:00.7

tackle for them. And I'm sure we'll talk about some players that can swing inside and outside.

1:04.5

But the interior of the line is a question for them beyond 2026. Landon Dickerson,

There's been reports about that. Tyler Steen, a free agent, and only had an okay year last year.

And then Cam Juergens, we won't do a ton of center stuff today, but didn't have a great year.

1:21.3

So I guess my first question for you would be, before we dive into some of the prospects,

1:26.4

1:28.8

of the offensive line? Do you view it as a strong class, a weak class? Is it a versatile class?

1:33.8

Just how do you view the interior of this draft? I view it as a deep class, to be completely

1:39.0

honest, man. I truly value the interior offensive line as a former college running back.

1:46.4

I understand how the run game happens, guards in a guard play.

1:51.3

I've always joked that big tackle propaganda has gotten everybody focused on the edges,

1:56.3

but it's really guards in the guard to where you have success offensively.

1:59.3

So this is a very good class,

2:01.3

a lot of good talents, and I'm of the mindset. I don't mind taking guards in round one,
