Philadelphia Eagles 7-round mock draft: Moving back up into the top 10

The Philadelphia Eagles select…
player. Scouting Report. IDL. Jaylen Twyman. 123. Pick Analysis. Pittsburgh. 54
We made it through three picks without adding to “the trenches”, so it only felt right to bring in a big-bodied lineman here at the top of the fourth round.
Defensive tackle is an underrated need for the Eagles during this year’s draft, as the depth behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave is pretty slim.
Twyman – standing in at 6-2, 290lbs – is a more pass rush oriented interior defensive lineman. He logged 10.5 sacks and 12 TFLs during his redshirt sophomore season in 2019, which is something that would undoubtedly attract the likes of Howie Roseman.

Doubling up on linemen here in the fifth round, Sadarius Hucherson gives the Eagles the interior offensive line help that they’ve been looking for this offseason.
With Jason Kelce all but guaranteed to retire after the 2021 season, the general thought process is that Philly needs to land a future center in this year’s draft. However, there’s a very real possibility that Isaac Seumalo takes over center duties in 2022, opening up the left guard position for someone new.
Hucherson, a four-year starter in the SEC at South Carolina, could be ready to assume that role in 2022 after a year’s worth of learning behind the likes of Brandon Brooks and Seumalo.
