Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Eagles gave up 50 sacks last season. They are solid on the left side with Pro Bowl tackle Jason Peters and underrated guard Todd Herremans. But there are problems on the right side, particularly at tackle, where Winston Justice did not play well last season. As the Sports Xchange suggests, the fact the right side is lefthanded QB Michael Vick's blind side, it's imperative that the Eagles upgrade the position. According to his
NFL.com scouting report, Watkins does not have the arm length and first step explosion to play left tackle. Can he handle the right side? If not, he'll make a great guard.
