Philadelphia Eagles Draft | Seven Round Mock 2.0
With the season over and the draft approaching, here’s an updated version of the Philadelphia Eagles’ seven-round mock draft.
Whoo baby, that was a game. If you had to convince someone to watch football for the rest of their life, and you only had one game to show them, you’d show them that game. I resent the Patriots for Super Bowl 39 as much as the next Eagle fan, but you’ve got to respect greatness.
Even though the Philadelphia Eagles have been in offseason mode for almost a month now, New England’s outstanding comeback victory firmly moves the NFL into the postseason. The Combine is in three weeks; the Draft, in eighty days. We call this “draft season,” people. In fall, the leaves change color; in tax season, H&R Block commercials triple in frequency; but in draft season…we just do a ton of mock drafts.
We had our Seven Round Mock 1.0 over a month ago. Players in that mock, like Texas A&M’s DE Daeshon Hall and Western Michigan’s OT Taylor Moton, had exceptional showings at the Senior Bowl, thereby increasing their draft stock and ruining my perfectly laid plan to snag them in Day 3. Clearly, players are reading and reacting to my mocks.

In all seriousness, you’ll hear many people questioning the value of these mocks, asserting they’re all for naught, as they couldn’t possibly be predictive of what will actually go down in April. Of course, they’re right. These pre-Combine, pre-Pro days, pre-interview, pre-final grade mocks are purely speculative. But they still have value: they help us understand what trends might occur. They contextualize what it means for a positional class to be “loaded” or “weak.” They clarify how a team might approach their positions of need.
For example, the Eagles’ first round selection in this mock may have not made it down to their pick a week ago, but recent developments might push him to the middle of Round 1. And the ramifications of these recent developments will impact the way the Eagles approach free agency, the needs they address in later rounds, their offensive scheme, so on and so forth.
That’s why you see all of these “Three scouts think Player A isn’t a first-rounder” and “Two GMs wouldn’t touch Player B” reports. Football has always been a game of inches, and getting just one player to drop one slot can have massive ramifications.
Color you intrigued? I hope so.
Before we begin, let me remind you of the Philadelphia Eagles’ needs, pre-free agency:
And the Eagles’ draft order, as it currently stands:
- 1st Round: 14th/15th overall (via Minnesota Vikings) (to be decided via coin flip with Indianapolis Colts at Combine) (there are a lot of parentheses for just this one pick, man)
- 2nd Round: Own pick
- 3rd Round: Own pick
- 4th Round: Own pick
- 5th Round: Browns’ pick (could become conditional 4th)
- 5th Round: Own pick
- 6th Round: Own pick
- 7th Round: Own pick
