Eagles draft reaction: Tyler Steen can be molded by Jeff Stoutland

The Philadelphia Eagles focused on the defense in Round 1, but their first pick on Friday night was on offense. Howie Roseman will tell you any day that the Eagles build through the trenches, and they continued that trend with their No. 65 overall pick, OT Tyler Steen out of Alabama.

During some of his pre-draft press conferences, Roseman talked about the luxury they have with Jeff Stoutland in the building. Stout’s penchant for developing offensive lineman means that they don’t have to find a guy with super sound technique, but rather someone with unique traits that they can mold.
