Philadelphia Eagles: A 3-round mock draft to partake on 4/20

And last but not least, Greg Dulcich, a tight end who made his bones playing under Chip Kelly at UCLA.

… before you rage quit this mock draft due to the very mention of the former Philadelphia Eagles head coach, please hold on for a few hundred more words; I have a feeling you’ll like Dulcich’s game if for no other reason than it shares a stark familiarity to that of Philly legend Zach Ertz.

With good size at 6-foot-4, 243 pounds, an above-average wingspan, and much better speed than one might expect, Dulcich is a classic move tight end who can deploy from the line, in the slot, or even on the outside and provide a vertical presence down the field. His 17.6 career yards per catch average ranks among the best marks in the nation at any position, tight end or otherwise, and his ability to get himself open downfield might just be the best of any player at his position in the 2022 class.

In the Eagles’ scheme, Dulcich will play that Ertz role in Nick Sirianni’s offense, a wrinkle that was notably absent when he left the team midway through the season via a trade with Arizona. Like Ertz, Dulcich plays the game more like a big slot receiver than a true tight end and could fast become a favorite of Jalen Hurts for his large catch radius and willingness to muck things up with linebackers, safties, or whomever an opposing coordinator tasks with slowing him down.

Though he may never overtake Dallas Goedert for the team’s TE1 spot, having a second tight end who can see the field early and often would add a much-appreciated wrinkle to the Eagles’ offense nonetheless.

So how do you think I did? In hindsight, I probably should have taken Devonte Wyatt at 15, kept Andre Booth at 18, and then attacked wide receiver in the second or third round, where players like Christian Watson and Wan’Dale Robinson were still available, but hey, nothing one can do about it now. Fortunately, with more than a week left before the Philadelphia Eagles take the clock, we’ll all be able to take the mock draft simulators and craft the perfect strategy moving forward.
