6. **Landon Dickerson, Philadelphia Eagles.** The Eagles are in need of a strong presence in the middle of their offense following Jason Kelce’s departure. Fortunately, they have a two-time Pro Bowler ready to step up. After signing a four-year, $84 million contract extension this offseason, Dickerson is poised to perform as the highest-paid guard. “He’s the best run-pass combo guard in the league,” said an NFL coordinator. “While others may excel slightly in the run game, Dickerson is significantly better in one-on-one pass protection. Given that most of Philly’s pass protection involves dropbacks, I find that more impressive than those who often rely on play-action.” With a 95.7% pass block win rate and an 81.2% run block win rate leading all guards, Dickerson’s performance stands out. “He’ll be the premier guard after this season, especially if Philly succeeds,” noted an NFL evaluator.
