The Philadelphia Eagles made it back to the playoffs this past season, as once again, Foles Magic gripped the City of Brotherly Love. Nick Foles stepped in for Carson Wentz towards the end of the regular season for the second straight year, leading the Birds to the Divisional Round, where they were eventually knocked off by the New Orleans Saints.

Still, it was an incredible run for Foles, who the team decided to give his walking papers this past week. Rumors have been circulating that Foles may end up in Jacksonville, which means the Eagles will have to roll with Wentz moving forward, and hope he can stay healthy.

When healthy, Wentz has been a tremendous NFL quarterback, and the team would be wise to bring in some talent to protect him moving forward. One offensive line prospect that showed at the NFL combine was Andre Dillard from Washington State, who would be a nice replacement for Jason Peters in a year or two.

Peters is likely headed for Canton, Ohio, so the team will have to make sure they have a  talented piece to replace him with eventually. Dillard is a guy who has the strength, and feet to possibly stay on the left side at the NFL level, and protecting Wentz has got to be priority No. 1 for the organization if they hope to ever make it back to a Super Bowl.
