The Eagles are stacking up on the defensive line in this draft, with their newest selection at 189 of Marlon Tuipulotu, a defensive tackle from USC. Tuipulotu comes in at 6’2, 307 pounds with a 33″ arm reach.

Producing a strong senior bowl, and three starting seasons at USC, Tuipulotu will be a good depth addition to the team. Common issues through scouts suggest that Marlon does need to put on some weight but give that man a few cheesesteaks and he’ll be good to go. Marlon’s strengths, according to NFL scouts, include:

• Accountable, Reliable, Tough
• Quick Hands off the Snap
• Sets strong edges to muddle rush lanes
• Explosiveness to pull blockers off balance and shed quickly
• Great attitude, right mindset

Tuipulotu, 21, was first-team all-Pac 12 last season. He’s 6-foot-2 and 307 pounds. @dpbrugler had him ranked as the No. 3 DT in the draft and the No. 69 overall player with a grade of the 2nd/3rd round. https://t.co/bkxmCRq7pn

The Eagles have stacked up on the defensive line this draft, and although Marlon won’t be a Day 1 starter, he will bring good depth to a strong defensive line and have good mentors to learn from.
