The Eagles didn’t end up drafting an offensive tackle, opting instead to stick to their board and get defensive players early, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t still looking for one. A day after the end of the 2024 NFL Draft, Howie Roseman decided to sign a former first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in Mekhi Becton.
Becton will sign a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, all pending a physical. He will give the Eagles some depth as a swing tackle behind starters Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson.
Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland was a proponent of signing Mekhi Becton.
