A number of NFL evaluators who spoke with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler would prefer to have the Philadelphia Eagles personnel on offense as opposed to the talented group the San Francisco 49ers are working with, though it's a close call.

"Better offensive line, better core of receivers," an AFC executive told him. "Saquon [Barkley] will be a big piece. I'm taking the O-line. Very close. Some of what San Francisco does well is because Kyle [Shanahan] is making it work."

Quarterback might be a wash after Jalen Hurts regressed in 2023 and Brock Purdy took a positive step.
