The Eagles actually got some respect for once.
According to ESPN, the Eagles have the second-best projected starting lineup in the NFL this season.
The number one is the Rams, the number two is the Eagles, then it's Seahawks, Bills, Ravens, Lions, Patriots.
I think this is a pretty good list, and I know people may say, "Oh, you're biased," but the Eagles at number two feels pretty fair to me when you look at the weapons they have across the board.
Obviously, you lose A.J.
Brown, and now you're plugging in a combination of an unknown rookie in Mekhi Lemon, along with some other guys like Dontayvon Wicks, Hollywood Brown, et cetera.
But you have Saquon, you have Dallas Goedert, obviously Jalen Hurts, and you have all these other weapons and still some anchors up front on the offensive line.
This offense should be able to bounce back.
I think people just kind of forgot how good the Eagles offense was because of a Kevin Patulo.
And the Rams being number one is fair, even though I do think the Eagles could make a case to be number one just based on paper.
But the Eagles still have one of the best offensive personnel sets in the entire NFL, not just the NFC, and I think, again, people are gonna be reminded of that when they come out week one with Sean Mannion.
And I think this is pretty fair.
I mean, they're better than the Seahawks.
They're better than Buffalo.
Josh Allen is incredible, but D.J.
Moore was, like, your prized acquisition.
I don't think that that is really gonna put you over the top of a team like the Rams or the Eagles on this list.
And the Ravens are really good, but just a lot of injury concerns with Lamar.
Obviously, a lot of vertical threats and speed there, and you have a big power back like Derrick Henry.
But still some questions and concerns for the Ravens in terms of consistency
