It is draft day. The biggest sports day of the year, that doesn’t involve an actual game. 32 picks, followed by 225 for picks over the following two days. As of now, the Eagles own 8 of those picks. One 1st, Two 2nds, a 4th, three 5ths, and a 6th.
Here Are All The Picks The Eagles Have This Year:
- Round 1: No. 22
- Round 2: No. 50
- Round 2: No. 53
- Round 4: No. 120
- Round 5: No. 161
- Round 5: No. 171
- Round 5: No. 172
- Round 6: No. 210
This is the Eagles. It is Howie Roseman. We know they won’t make all those picks in all those spots. He will trade up from a few, he will trade down from a few.
There are many possibilities for the Eagles in the 1st round. But my most confident prediction for that pick is it won’t be at pick 22.
That said, in this mock draft, I will not be making any trades. Mock drafts are hard enough when you are only predicting players. If you try predicting trades, trade compensations, it is even more of a crap shoot.
I will predict all 8 picks. If I am lucky, I will get 1 right. If I get 2 right, I might go buy some lottery tickets on Sunday.
We all know the drill here. Mock drafts are mostly wrong. But there are still thousands of them because we still love them.
Picking specific players for specific teams is incredibly difficult. But I still find it fascinating to read about the players and read about what types of players a team might be targeting.
After spending WAY too much time reading about the draft, reading about the players, and obsessing over it, I wanted to take my chance at a 7-round Eagles Mock Draft.

Here Is My 7 Round Eagles Mock Draft:
Round 2: Pick 50- OT- Kingsley Suamataia- BYU
If they don’t go O-Line in the 1st, they will absolutely go there in the 2nd. If they go into day 3 having drafted no Offensive Linemen, I will be floored.
Kingsley is an elite athlete, who is very raw technique-wise. Pretty much exactly the type of guy Eagles like. If anyone in the NFL can teach an OT proper technique, it is Jeff Stoutland.
Taking someone with a crazy high upside, who will take a bit to develop, is the perfect fit for the Eagles. They have RT locked in for at least 2 more years with Lane. Kingsley could learn behind the best in the business, then be ready to takeover when it is time.
He is also Penei Sewell’s cousin.
If they go OL in Round 1, I like Rutgers CB Max Melton here instead.
Round 2: Pick 53- LB- Junior Colson- Michigan
The Eagles need a linebacker. All they have right now are question marks. Some interesting question marks.
I love the upside of Devin White, but he has yet to live up to his potential. I still like Nakobe Dean, but he is an undersized LB who suffered multiple injuries and has barely seen the field in two years.
Enter Junior Colson. Colson is not undersized. He is your prototypical strong Linebacker who almost never misses a tackle. He is no slouch in coverage either.
They spent the last two years collecting players from the National Champion Georgia Bulldogs. Now that there is a new National Champion, they might as well shop from them as well.
