Philadelphia is clearly interested in adding another student to Jeff Stoutland University.

It’s officially Philadelphia Eagles pre-draft visit tracker season.

So far, the Birds are said to be hosting multiple offensive linemen at the NovaCare Complex ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft:

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.


JOSH CONERLY JR.

Conerly is the No. 34 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus and No. 38 by Daniel Jeremiah.

Conerly made 28 starts at left tackle for Oregon over the past two years.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

Two-year starter whose in-season improvement and performance against Penn State’s Abdul Carter make it easier to project his future. Conerly is proportionally built but lacks ideal play strength. He strains at the point of attack but needs to get his hips and hands synced to improve as a finisher. He moves easily in space and gets to his angles to help spring the run. Conerly sets with smooth slides and ready hands but gets caught over-setting. He has anchor troubles against power that might be challenging to correct. He sees twists and blitzes developing and recovers with athleticism when beaten. Conerly is young and needs more development, but he should become a good starter at tackle or guard.

MARCUS MBOW

Mbow (pronounced bō) is the No. 76 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus and No. 50 by Daniel Jeremiah.

His college snap counts by position (via PFF):

2021 — RG 21, LG 13
2022 — RG 647, RT 63
2023 — RT 446
2024 — RT 658

There’s thought that Mbow will have to move back to guard in the NFL.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

What Mbow lacks in desired size and mass, he makes up for with athleticism, hustle and elite instincts. He is likely to head back home to guard after two years manning right tackle for Purdue. He’s a free-flowing athlete with the ability to create chunk-run opportunities with blocks on the second level or in space, but he’s also willing to swap paint with aggressive first contact. His tendency to let his hands drift outside and a lack of mass could be early stumbling blocks in both blocking phases. Mbow’s smarts and athleticism should help upgrade an offensive line-needy team that utilizes a move-blocking scheme.


ANTHONY BELTON

Belton is the No. 98 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus.

Belton made 32 starts — all at left tackle — in 38 games played from 2022 through 2024.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

Belton is an enormous tackle with good power and long arms. He can bulldoze the roads clean for running backs but needs to play with better hand placement to sustain his early lead. Belton has the...
