The Philadelphia Eagles are picking at No. 23, and it feels a little more telling than usual. Not because it is some massive reach or anything like that. Just because of what the choice could say. Their focus could be on improving their offense. However, if they try to acquire a WR or QB, they would have a tough time allocating that resource.
Why OT and TE Are Seen As the Eagles’ Draft Needs
If you look at how fans are using the PFSN mock draft simulator, the direction is pretty clear at first. Offensive tackle shows up 43.6% of the time. Edge is at 15.8%, tight end at 14.6%.
So yeah, the line still matters. But then you look at the players, and it gets just a teensy bit more specific.
Kadyn Proctor is at 14.8%. Kenyon Sadiq is right there at 14.5%. After that, it spreads out between Blake Miller (8%), Akheem Mesidor (7.2%), Spencer Fano (6.8%), Max Iheanachor (6.4%), and Caleb Lomu (5.5%).
So even with all those options, it kind of circles back to those two.
Proctor is the easier one to picture in Philly, given his scouting report by PFSN:
PFSN Grade: 84.97
Position Rank: OT2
RAS Score: 8.79
He is 6-foot-6 and 369 pounds. And when he gets set, it is hard to move him. Power rushers don’t really get much out of him. But then you watch him against speed, and it’s not as clean. There are reps where he looks a step late, or just a stiff trying to recover.
Which is where the whole “is he actually a guard long-term?” thing comes in.
And honestly, if he does move inside, he might be really good there. Maybe even overwhelming at times. It just changes how you think about the pick.
Sadiq feels different straight away.
PFSN Grade: 87.96
Position Rank: TE1
RAS Score: 9.52
He is 6-foot-3 and around 250 pounds. Sadiq moves easily, which is evidenced by his 2025 numbers at Oregon (51 catches, 560 yards, and 8 touchdowns).

He finds space without forcing it. Gets open in ways that do not always look obvious at first. And when the ball comes, Sadiq is pretty calm through contact.
Also, he actually blocks. Not perfectly, but enough that the Eagles won’t have to take him off the field. There is still some strength stuff to clean up, but it is not the kind of thing that limits Sadiq right now.
So, to conclude, Proctor feels like the kind of pick the Eagles usually make. Build up front and keep things trustworthy. Sadiq feels like adding something extra. Not fixing a problem per se, just… giving the offense more ways to work.
