Eagles 3-Round Mock Draft has Philly bolstering the trenches and landing a legitimate CB2

The latest three-round mock draft from PFF has the Eagles taking a pretty straightforward approach this April — reinforce the secondary immediately, add pass rush depth behind the current rotation, and start planning ahead at some premium offensive positions before those needs become urgent.

It’s not the splashiest haul on paper, but it’s about as on brand as it gets for how this front office prefers to operate.

Eagles address the biggest weakness early with Brandon Cisse

With the 23rd overall pick, PFF has the Eagles selecting South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse ,a press-man boundary corner who would likely step into a starting role opposite Quinyon Mitchell from Day One.

The logic here is simple. Outside of Mitchell, the Eagles’ boundary corner play was inconsistent last season, and the depth behind him is anything but settled long term.

Cisse checks the physical boxes immediately:

• 6’0”, 190 pounds
• 4.35 speed
• Long arms
• Smooth hips in transition

Feels like nobody is talking about Brandon Cisse…

He’s built to play press coverage at the line of scrimmage and run vertically without getting stacked downfield. His man coverage ability is already ahead of schedule, with the recovery speed to stay in phase even if he opens his hips too early off the release.

There’s also some real value in how quickly he triggers downhill against perimeter runs and screens. His run defense graded out extremely well at the college level, even if the tackling consistency still needs refinement.

That’s where the development curve comes in.

Cisse’s biggest concerns are mental rather than physical. His zone instincts are still raw, he can bite on double moves, and he’ll get grabby when he feels threatened instead of trusting his athleticism. He’s also a one-year full-time starter after transferring to South Carolina in 2025.

But the tools are legitimate CB1 tools.

For a late-first-round team like the Eagles with strong defensive backs coaching already in place, this is the exact type of prospect you take, someone who can start immediately in press-man looks while refining the technical side of the position over the next year or two.

Eagles continue investing in the trenches on Day Two

In Round 2, PFF sends Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height to Philadelphia.

This feels like a move with the future in mind more than anything else. Height brings the length and first-step burst that this team consistently targets along the defensive line, even if he’s not someone you’re drafting to carry a heavy snap load right away.

The Eagles rotate pass rushers as much as anyone in football, and getting another developmental edge in the pipeline behind the current group is how they’ve sustained production there over multiple seasons.

You’re betting on the DL factory again.

Planning ahead at TE and RB on Day Three

Round 3 is where the Eagles start thinking about long-term flexibility on offense.

At pick No. 68, PFF has them grabbing Ohio State tight end Max Klare. This feels like classic Dallas Goedert insurance. Klare would give the Eagles a developmental in-line option on a rookie deal at a position that’s quietly getting more expensive across the league.

Given how important the tight end position is to the structure of this offense, getting ahead of it instead of reacting late would make a lot of sense.

Later in the round, the Eagles stay local with Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton.

Singleton brings real home-run ability to the backfield and would fit neatly into the team’s ongoing strategy of cycling through young running backs on rookie contracts rather than committing major money to second deals at the position.

The Eagles’ draft focus in this mock

Across three rounds, PFF has the Eagles:

• Reinforcing the secondary with a potential Day One starter
• Adding developmental pass rush depth
• Planning ahead at tight end
• Injecting explosiveness into the running back room

In other words, they’re building for sustainability instead of scrambling to plug holes.

It might not win the press conference, but it’s exactly how the Eagles have kept this roster competitive year after year.
