Coming into this year’s draft, the Eagles’ front office knew that adding depth along the offensive line would be one of their primary goals. In Isaac Seumalo, selected 79th overall in the third round, Philadelphia acquired a player who they believe can play any of the five positions along the line at the pro level.
Seumalo, a redshirt junior out of Oregon State, started nine games last season at right guard and three at left tackle. As a sophomore and freshman, he started 23 games at center and two more at right tackle. In Philadelphia, he’ll start out as a guard, but Howie Roseman and head coach Doug Pederson believe that the 6-4, 303-pound lineman could one day play on the outside.
