The Eagles used pick No. 249 in the 2023 NFL Draft to snag a 6-foot-3 defensive tackle out of Texas.
“Naturally powerful defensive lineman caught somewhere between end and tackle. Ojomo is best-suited as a base end but doesn’t really have the get-off quickness to exploit interior blockers as an inside rusher on passing downs. He’s tight in his lower body, and his movements lack fluidity, but he can fight his way through blocks with upper-body power and a will to make it happen.
The Eagles already drafted defensive tackle Jalen Carter in the first round but added some more depth in the seventh with Ojomo. The Eagles’ defensive tackles right now are Carter, Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Marlon Tuipulotu, Kentavius Street, Noah Elliss and Ojomo. They released former UDFA Marvin Wilson on Saturday.
The Eagles ended up having a pretty exciting Day 3 of the draft. They entered the day with three picks in the seventh round and one in the sixth. They left with three players in the draft, including fourth-rounder Kelee Ringo, and veteran running back D’Andre Swift.1-30: Nolan Smith, Edge, Georgia6-188: Tanner McKee, QB, Stanford
