Posted April 9, 20241 yr Just over 2 weeks away til the big day! The Eagles typically take at least a few players they've had in for pre-draft visits. I'll be using this board's very own interest tracker (in the draft section) to come up with a mock that I'll say is a combination of what I'd do and what I think the Eagles will do. And, a no-trade version. 1. DB Cooper DeJean - This guy stands out as the perfect pick (to me). He's the definition of versatile, which is a primary trait both Howie and Fangio will love. Added bonus: with the new kickoff rule, DeJean can also serve as a weapon returning kicks as well. He's the perfect fit in a secondary that is still trying to figure things out. 2. Edge Marshawn Kneeland - Profiles like Brandon Graham and drafted to replace him in 2025. Eagles will need an Edge with more size that can be stout against the run. 2. OG Cooper Beebe - Eagles showing a ton of OL interest so far, many of them Guards. Hopefully that's a sign that they won't take an OT in Round 1 that will either sit or try to cross-train at RG. Instead, Beebe can just slide right in and likely be a solid 10 year starter. We'll have to hope Steen can be the swing tackle. 4. LB Trevin Wallace - After signing Devin White and likely still ready to rely on Dean, any hope of taking a LB earlier are pretty much gone. Wallace was in for a visit, is young and has good traits. Needs to develop. 5. WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint - Big body type, good blocker. Good prospect to develop for bigger role in 2025 and beyond. 5. RB Carson Steele - Big back, excellent rotational type and would provide good insurance for Barkley. 6. DT Khristian Boyd - Small school guy with intriguing traits that Howie loves late in drafts. Again, just based on pre-draft interest. Notable omission: TE position. I am somewhat surprised at the lack of known interest in players at this position. It feels like a near certainty that they'll take one, possibly early.
April 9, 20241 yr I'd be happy with this. Wish the had been a TE in the 4/5 range. Thanks, this is one of the best that's been posted so far.

I'd love Cade Stover or Theo Johnson at TE in Round 4...which is probably what I would do...but the interest tracker shows very little for that position. Seems odd. Maybe they really think Albert O is the answer?
