I'm going to go with this 

All 5 of these players had at least one all pro and at least 3 of them were the best at their positions at least one season.

Kelce, Andrews,and Lane.

Id include Peters but Joe Thomas played the same time as well.

So there were no good linemen before the turn of the century?  Have you ever heard of Bob Brown?  Bucko Kilroy?

This is probably my lineup of favorite linemen that I've watched for the eagles.

As for best lineup I've watched, I don't think tra at his best was better than peters at his best so that's the only change I would make. Probably same for Runyan/Lane but a little closer there i think so I'd leave it.

I think Tra at his best was a better pass blocker than Peters at his best.  No comparison in the run game though.

To be fair, from 1969 to 2000 the Eagles had a total 2 linemen who made the Pro Bowl, how many on here saw anyone pre 1969 to make an honest judgement? I can pick up my encyclopaedia of greatest Eagles but honestly of the guys I've actually seen play.

Peters, Mathis, Kelce, Brooks and Johnson are the best, Andrews was great but lost too many games to the treatment table and if you told me I had to take Runyan over Johnson I could live with it.

would be interesting to see what peoples' choices would be for best DL...with one caveat...no deceased players (so no Reggie White or Jerome Brown...that would make it too easy)

This. 
If it was over the career there are alternatives at LG, RG and RT (Runyan may just edge Lane on longevity), but this is pretty much it for individual seasons.

This shows where lies the key to success in the NFL.

Yep. It’s why I was fine when they drafted Dillard with Mailata already here and why I’m fine with drafting Dickerson. Pretty much the best way to assure that your team will be relevant.

Let's do one for secondary to see who'd be interested in playing this year  😂😂

Jon Runyan was good, not the best RT in Eagles history, but one thing is for sure...I wish all of our current and future linemen would have his mentality.
