Defense, defense, and more defense. That was the thinking of general manager Howie Roseman and the Eagles in this year’s NFL draft.

The Eagles’ last four drafts have seen an unprecedented – literally unprecedented – focus on defense, and Howie Roseman explained over the weekend that as offensive players league-wide have gotten faster and more explosive, his priority has been to answer with defensive players who can keep up.

The draft addition of Kendall, a three-year starter at Boston College, dropped Toth down a spot and could signal the end of his run with the Eagles. Kendall allowed just one sack and four pressures on 365 pass snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus and he will definitely be getting some reps at guard, too.
