• Jason Kelce, C, Eagles (6, 191): If you can turn a sixth-round pick into a starter before Week 1 of the regular season, you’ve done some good work. That’s precisely where the Eagles look like they’re headed with Kelce, a Cincinnati product.
Kelce has a battle on his hands for the starting gig, with veteran Jamaal Jackson doing what he can to hang on, but Philadelphia has been more than impressed with the young lineman. And like the Giants, the Eagles may have also struck gold more than once in Round 6 — two picks after taking Kelce, Philadelphia selected linebacker Brian Rolle, who led the team in tackles during the preseason opener.
