Eagles Mock Draft (04/10)

Posted 13 hours ago13 hr

Let’s get the most obvious out of the way. AJ won’t be on the roster at the start of the season.

Too much smoke, too many rumors. Part of me thinks there is a chance he’s going to be moved on draft night. Why?! Well…If the Patriots don’t want to give up a first for next year but are open to offer a 2nd in 2027, why not give the Eagles the 31st pick this year?! It basically holds the same value as an early 2nd round pick, right?!

But for the sake of the argument and to make this mock not too complex, let’s say they move him past June 1 for say…a 2nd and 3rd in 2027 and WR Kayshon Boutte?!

I just don’t believe the Cheatriots are willing to give up a 1st next year and will stick to that.

In this scenario I’m not gonna force an offensive lineman or wide receiver in the first no matter all the Omar Cooper Jr., Jordan Tyson and Denzel Boston rumbling (although they might be legit).

As you may have noticed Eagles have shown a ton of interest in both first and mid round tackles and receivers. 25 % of their pre draft visits they spend on offensive linemen. Telling, right?!

My guess is that they want an OT who isn’t necessary pro ready day 1 but has the size, athletisism and tools to step in in case of an emergency. Someone who’ll sit behind Lane watching and learning for one or two years.

Do you take someone like that on day 1 or would you rather wait until day 3 to take that guy and address another need in the first?!

Ohhh, almost forgot! I do think Eagles deal Tanner McKee somewhere down the line for a 2027 mid round pick in case you were wondering.

Here goes;

Draft;

Trade alert!

Eagles trade pick no.23 and no.114 to the Carolina Panthers for pick no.19.

1 Keldrik Faulk, Edge, Auburn;

2 Treydan Stukes, DB, Arizona

3 Gennings Dunker, OG, Iowa;

3 De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss;

4 Markell Bell, OT, Miami;

5 Nate Boerkircher, TE, Texas A&M;

5 Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo;

6 Carson Beck, QB, Miami.

Not mad at this. I’d take a high end WR prospect in the 2nd a safety in 4th. Need to have multiple talented WRs in the league these days.

Not too excited agout the AJ trade - no help this year and less value than expected.

Thought about that…

Someone like Brazzell, Hurst, Bell in the second and safety with that second 3rd round pick.

The thought process here was that Boutte is in the last year of his rookie deal if I’m not mistaken. He’d be the No.2 or 3 guy from the start, depending how you view Hollywood Brown, so you won’t have to force a rookie receiver. Then again; if the rookie wins the job fine.

Rob,

My guess is, and this is pure speculation from my part, that the longer it takes, the less AJ’s value will get.

Basically I’m somewhat hoping they trade him during the draft for pick No.31 and change.

Imagine Pats taking a receiver early?!
