The right guard position is supposed to be Tyler Steen’s to lose, but experts in the know believe it’ll be the Big Ticket starting next to Lane Johnson. Former NFL defensive tackle and expert Brian Baldinger recently said this about Becton.
“Mekhi Becton (the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the New York Jets) had some knee issues in the past, but he has more power than anyone on the whole team,” Baldinger said. “He is the best run blocker that the Eagles have. If he is healthy, he will play right guard for them. They are working him in there. I would keep an eye on Mekhi. He is on their depth chart backing up Mailata right now at left tackle. He is a big guy. I think Becton has a shot at being right guard. Right now, Tyler Steen probably has the advantage there because he knows the Eagles’ system.”
