54. . Offensive Tackle. UCLA. Kolton Miller. 32. player

The Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles don’t exactly have a lot of needs this offseason, which means they can approach this NFL Draft from a position of luxury.

Philly’s defense, especially up front, is top notch. And there’s a great crop of offensive playmakers too. With quarterback Carson Wentz returning from an ACL injury, poised to compete for an MVP award in 2018, Super Bowl hero Nick Foles only becomes yet another high-valued commodity should the Eagles shop him this offseason.

One of the only glaring concerns is at left tackle, where 36-year-old veteran Jason Peters hopes to make a return from a season-ending knee injury suffered halfway through 2017. His age, combined with the injury, likely means Peters has only a limited time left at the pro level.

It’s time to find a replacement.

Notre Dame’s Mike McGlinchey would have been an ideal pick here, but he won’t slip that far in the NFL Draft. But a nice consolation prize would be UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller.

At 6-foot-8 and 310 pounds, Miller is a beast of a prospect. His bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine will be something to watch, and a strong performance could catapult him into first-round consideration.
