PHILADELPHIA — After drafting Kyle McCord to be a backup quarterback with their first six-round pick (No. 181), the Eagles addressed a different need on offense with their next pick.

With the.No. 191 overall selection, Philadelphia selected Michigan offensive tackle Myles Hinton. The Eagles needed a new swing tackle after losing Fred Johnson in free agency.

Here are some scouting reports on Hinton:

ESPN: “Hinton started 20 games at right tackle and 11 games at left tackle across five seasons in college. He is smooth getting set, his arms are long, and he has the big hands to latch on when landing his punch as a pass blocker. He can push speed rushers past the quarterback. Hinton is strong enough to hold his ground when winning with his hands. His short shuttle time (4.96 seconds) at the combine is concerning, but he moves his feet better than that time suggests. He’s a powerful run blocker who moves defensive linemen off the ball and engulfs defenders in space.”

NFL.com: “Hinton comes off the bus with an imposing body type and an impressive bloodline. His mom played basketball at Northwestern and his dad was an All-Pro offensive tackle. Hinton is borderline elite when pulling into space and easily adjusts his body to hit targets on the move. He plays tall and lacks first-contact aggression at the point of attack but can do his job at a decent clip. Hinton can slow a bull rush and mirror inside counters but he too often mistimes his punch and leans or lunges at the top of the rush. His tape might not dazzle, but there aren’t many players with his physical gifts. The allure of unlocking Hinton’s upside will be enticing for teams looking for swing tackle help.”
