Utilizing the Professional Soccer Focus Mock Draft Simulator. Solely selecting for the Eagles and never buying and selling.

Spherical 1, Choose 22 – Amarius Mims, Offensive Lineman, Georgia

This seems like it is going to be the choose until one other crew makes a transfer for Amarius Mims. Mims has excellent bodily instruments the place he may thrive at deal with, however has the guard expertise the Eagles search within the quick time period. The plan could be for Mims to chop his tooth at proper guard with Cam Jurgens shifting to middle. Then, ultimately, Mims may kick out to proper deal with when Lane Johnson hangs up his cleats.

Spherical 2, Choose 50 – Javon Bullard, Security, Georgia

I’m certain the Philadelphia Bulldogs jokes will maintain flowing when this choose is made. Javon Bullard makes a ton of sense given the Eagles defensive backfield scenario. Bullard does his greatest work as a slot defender the place he can cowl receivers and safeties whereas additionally being a wonderful run defender. With Avonte Maddox on a brief time period deal, Bullard is sensible as the long run choice to play nickel defender.

Spherical 2, Choose 54 – Edgerrin Cooper, Linebacker, Texas A&M

The jury could be very a lot nonetheless out on Nakobe Dean and Devin White is in Philly on a one yr deal. Edgerrin Cooper could be a slam dunk choose within the second spherical. Cooper’s athleticism and tenacity makes him a really perfect slot in Vic Fangio’s protection and he wouldn’t should be thrust into beginning service early on.

Spherical 3, Choose 97 – Audric Estime, Working Again, Notre Dame

There is no such thing as a doubt Saquon Barkley is the Eagles prime man at working again. However there’s a sound query about who might be his working mate within the Eagles backfield. Kenneth Gainwell has but to essentially set up himself as a top quality RB2 and Jalen Hurts is much less apt to run as of late. Audric Estime is a legit bruising again who could be a devastating complement to Saquon within the Eagles working sport.

Spherical 5, Choose 161- Zak Zinter, Guard, Michigan

Zak Zinter is superior. He’d in all probability be drafted a lot larger if not for a late season leg damage. He can redshirt his rookie yr and presumably begin at guard when Amarius Mims strikes to deal with.

Spherical 5, Choose 171 – Jordan Whittington, Broad Receiver, Texas

Jordan Whittington performed in a stacked Texas offense for just a few years, by no means actually getting an opportunity to place up huge numbers. That being stated, Whittington at all times answered when his quantity was referred to as. At 6’1” and 205 kilos, Whittington has good dimension and figures as a slot receiver within the NFL. He lacks the velocity to play exterior, however his toughness and dependable palms may very well be an asset in the midst of the sector for an NFL passing sport. The Eagles did a terrific job including depth to their receiver group this offseason signing Devante Parker and Parris Campbell to compete for the WR3 spot. Whittington doesn’t must be rushed into something at this level.

Spherical 5, Choose 172- Josh Newton, Cornerback, TCU

The Eagles ought to nonetheless add some depth to their exterior cornerback group on this draft. Josh Newton is a former large receiver with good ball abilities, good motion abilities and spectacular physicality. He’s nonetheless a bit uncooked, however could be a strong developmental participant for the Eagles.

Spherical 6, Choose 210- Justin Eboige, Defensive Lineman, Alabama

It will not be an Eagles draft with out a defensive position choose. Justin Eboige is an enormous, bodily lineman who performed all around the Alabama protection. He could be a flexible depth participant for the Eagles line.
