Philadelphia Eagles' Offensive Line Woes May Not Be Fixable

According to Spotrac, the Philadelphia Eagles have $11.6 million of salary-cap space allocated to running backs. That's the third-highest figure in the NFL—and a lot of good it's doing.

Unfortunately, the Eagles' investment in the offensive line doesn't quite match the spending on backs. Since selecting Lane Johnson with the fourth-overall draft pick in 2013, the organization has not taken a single offensive lineman in the draft. That's 20 consecutive rounds.

Not surprisingly, it's starting to show. Offensive line depth was a already an issue last season. Then the Eagles attempted to replace two starting guards from within.
