Exactly. They are 3-4 team too. It also means not overpaying for Linebackers that disappear by the end of the season.

The Eagles prioritize their lineman and likely will let Sweat walk if he wants too much. They can draft his replacement or bring somebody in free agency.

People wondered why they took Jalen Carter with a stacked line. Now they see why. I wouldn't mind the first 5 rounds being OL and DL.

We shouldn't be overpaying for TJ or Highsmith. They provide splash plays in September and October but get run all over in December and January. Keep them if they want reasonable contracts, otherwise, see ya. That is the Eagles way.

Build inside out. Linebacker is secondary in importance to D-Line. That is where the money should be invested...D-Line and Cornerback.

We didn't overpay for Highsmith. TJ is in decline and I think it's 50/50 will be traded this off season.

Wrong. They do not run a pure 4-3. They use 4 linemen in certain packages.

Their base is 3-4. Penny, Dollar, and Copper packages are 3 DL. The Nickel Package is 4-2-5. Dime is 4-1-6.
