Eagles Mock Draft: ESPN’s latest 7-round mock sees Philly reloading at key positions

The Philadelphia Eagles head into April’s draft with eight picks and the flexibility to either stay put at No. 32 or trade back for more ammo.

With 22 total selections over the next two years, Howie Roseman has the resources to reinforce a roster still built to contend. ESPN’s Matt Miller just released a fresh seven-round mock, and for Philadelphia, it’s all about reloading the defense, bolstering the trenches, and planning ahead at tight end.

Dynamic Edge Rusher Headlines the Eagles’ Draft Class

Rd 1, Pick 32: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Miller has the Eagles tapping into the ACC pipeline with the selection of Donovan Ezeiruaku, a twitchy edge rusher who racked up 16.5 sacks last season — second-best in the country. He’s also already visited with the Eagles on a top-30 visit, so the team has real interest in drafting him.

With Josh Sweat departing for Arizona in free agency, the Eagles need to replenish their pass rush. Ezeiruaku is a bit on the smaller side for a traditional 4-3 end at 6-3, 248, but his 34-inch arms and quick get-off make him a natural fit in a stand-up role. His pass-rushing skillset fits perfectly in a rotation with Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt, offering Philadelphia speed and depth on the edge.

Rd 2, Pick 64: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Tight end might not seem like a pressing need, but Dallas Goedert is 30, and his recent injuries are a concern. Arroyo flashed big-time potential in 2024, finally staying healthy and producing 590 yards and 7 scores on just 35 receptions.

Arroyo brings an intriguing mix of athleticism and size (6-4, 251) and would be the ideal understudy to Goedert while carving out a role in 12-personnel packages. The Eagles have always drafted with the future in mind, and this pick is no exception.

Rd 3, Pick 96: Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland

Milton Williams’ exit in free agency left a gap in the interior defensive line rotation, and Jordan Phillips looks like a plug-and-play replacement. While a bit undersized, he thrives on quickness and could contribute immediately on passing downs.

Rd 4, Pick 134: Logan Brown, OT, Kansas

No Eagles draft would be complete without investing in the offensive line. Brown, a former top recruit, has prototypical size (6-6, 315) and experience at both Wisconsin and Kansas. He’ll get a chance to develop under Jeff Stoutland and add to the team’s long-standing O-line depth.

Day 3: Filling Out the Roster

• Rd 5, Pick 161 (via HOU): Joe Huber, G, Wisconsin
  Solid depth along the interior offensive line. The Eagles love versatility, and Huber provides it.
• Rd 5, Pick 164 (via CLE/DET): Sebastian Castro, S, Iowa
  Castro’s physicality and experience in a Big Ten secondary make him an intriguing project at safety.
• Rd 5, Pick 165 (via WSH): Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
  Explosive after the catch and a nice complement to Philly’s outside threats.
• Rd 5, Pick 168: Teddye Buchanan, LB, California
  A smart, instinctive linebacker who could earn a role on special teams and work his way into the rotation.

Final Thoughts

Matt Miller’s mock draft paints a picture of a front office that’s staying true to form — stockpiling athletes, building through the trenches, and drafting for both the now and later. With eight picks and more flexibility than most teams, the Eagles are in a strong position to remain contenders while preparing for the next chapter.

If this draft class pans out anything like it looks on paper, Philadelphia will have taken another major step toward keeping the Super Bowl window wide open.
