The Philadelphia Eagles are eyeing the NFL Draft as a prime opportunity to find a successor for tight end Dallas Goedert. While there's always a chance that GM Howie Roseman might re-sign Goedert if the price is right-something he hinted at during the NFL Combine-the draft remains a pivotal moment for the Eagles' future at the position.
Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq is a name that Eagles fans should keep an eye on. Although the team hasn't met with him yet, Sadiq has expressed admiration for Philadelphia's use of tight ends.
"They do a great job," Sadiq noted. "Dallas Goedert had a really good year, and they're fun to watch.
Playing for them would be awesome."
Sadiq is a compelling prospect. Known for his athleticism, he could be one of the most dynamic tight ends the Eagles have ever had.
Despite a quieter season on the stat sheet with 560 yards and eight touchdowns, his potential shines through in his game tape. With a 4.45 40-yard dash, Sadiq brings a rare blend of speed and playmaking ability that sets him apart from many of his peers.
The Eagles are in a tight spot with only Cameron Latu currently on the active roster. With Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson joining Goedert as free agents, the need for a strong tight end presence is pressing. Free agents like Isaiah Likely and David Njoku are on the radar, but many mock drafts suggest Sadiq could land with the Eagles at pick 23.
Roseman is known for exploring all avenues, and Sadiq is certainly in the mix, even if formal meetings haven't happened yet. The Eagles are poised to make a strategic move, and Sadiq's combination of athleticism and potential makes him a tantalizing option.
