Eagles schedule top-30 visit with versatile defensive lineman

Following the departure of Milton Williams, the Philadephia Eagles will look to the NFL Draft to replenish their defensive line.

Philadelphia has historically built through the trenches and they will maintain that philosophy during this year's draft process. According to Billy Embody of On3Sports, SMU DL Elijah Roberts has top-30 visits scheduled with the Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Roberts, a projected Day 3 pick, spent his first three years at Miami (FL) before transferring to SMU and having two productive seasons as a starter. He appeared in 27 games over that span, recording 24 tackles for loss, 17.
