The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles season is over, almost the end of a disappointing year comes optimism for an offseason for the team to change, improve, and add some new of today, the Eagles hold eight picks in the 202NFL Draft BJ Mayes Jersey, including the 23rd overall selection and four picks in the top draft is deep where the Eagles need it to be: offensive line and defensive skill could be a great chance for them to add a ton of young talent where the roster and cap needs.I do this simulation column every year to sort of track the changes in Eagles needs, players draft stocks, and possible pick are months and months away from the draft, so things are definitely subject to change with exhibition games, private workouts, interviews, and the combine still as it stands today, here is how I would navigate the Eagles eight picks in the run using the Pro Football Focus Mock Draft 1.23: Kadyn Proctor, Offensive Lineman, AlabamaThere are many reasons the Eagles struggled on offense this year and health in the trenches was a big Eagles really felt the injury to Lane Johnson and the fact that the interior offensive line was never fully need to get younger in the trenches and Kadyn Proctor makes a ton of sense in the first 6’7, 330+ pounds, Proctor looks the part of the next great Eagles played 40 games at Alabama, all at left tackle and got better every one of his three could be a tremendous heir apparent for Lane Johnson with the potential to start at right guard in the meantime if the Eagles feel his height won’t be a liability 2.54: Eli Stowers, Tight End, VanderbiltEli Stowers is a guy I am going to probably pound the table for all Goedert is a free agent and even if AJ Brown returns, the Eagles need a third guy in their passing is smaller as a tight end at 6’4, 235 pounds and probably will struggle with inline blocking but god what a mismatch this player could be with the right offensive his combination of size and athleticism, he will be too fast for linebackers to cover and too big for most cornerbacks to play at the catch is agile after the catch and can win all over the field.I honestly think he goes much higher than this after the combine, but right now I can 3.68: D’Angelo Ponds, Cornerback, Indiana Since the 2021 draft, Howie Roseman has become dialed in on drafting players from the best programs in the that time frame, the Eagles drafted eight players from a reigning national championship top of that there has just generally been more of an emphasis on drafting guys from Blue Chips 2021, the Eagles have drafted tons of players from Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, and there’s a new top program in the Indiana Hoosiers are loaded with future NFL players on both sides of the ball and that’s a big reason they are 150 headed into a national title game this weekend.I expect the Eagles to dip into that talent pool at least once this spring.D’Angelo Ponds might be undersized at 5’9, 170 pounds but he has dominated Big 10 receivers for the last two years, shutting out some very talented the beginning of the 2024 season, Ponds has been targeted 5 times on 892 coverage snaps and only allowed a single touchdown while picking off five passes, all as a boundary is smart, athletic and Eagles have a huge hole in their secondary at the third cornerback spot and Ponds could push to play outside cornerback with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean holding down the other 3.98: Mikail Kamara, Edge Defender, IndianaThe Eagles draft a second Hoosier in this Kamara hasn’t put up impressive sack numbers to follow up his 2024 season where he had 10, but he actually has had more hurries this is a twitchy, high motor defender who makes up for his lack of length with a high level of an Eagles team that needs more youth and juice at edge.
