NFL Mock Draft 2024: Eagles 7-round simulation, Model 8.0

The Eagles have been extraordinarily energetic in free company via only some days, including high quality starters like Saquon Barkley, Bryce Huff, CJ Gardner Johnson and excessive upside position gamers/backups like Matt Hennessey, Devin White, Zach Baun, and Devante Parker. Their free company strategy positively clarifies the place they may and will go along with their upcoming draft picks. Right here is how their 2024 class may play out.

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

Spherical 1, Decide 22 – Terrion Arnold, Cornerback, Alabama

The Eagles not addressing cornerback (but) via free company makes it an amazing want. With James Bradberry’s step again in 2023, Darius Slay’s age, and the discharge of Avonte Maddox; the Eagles have a transparent want at cornerback. Even with Kelee Ringo ready within the wings, that is too gifted a cornerback class for the Eagles to cross up on. Arnold has the scale, velocity, and ball hawking abilities to be an out of doors cornerback within the Eagles protection and will contribute prior to later.

Spherical 2, Decide 50 – Payton Wilson, Linebacker, NC State

Even with the addition of Devin White, the Eagles have to solidify their linebacker group. White is a wildcard and the jury may be very, very a lot nonetheless out on Nakobe Dean. Payton Wilson brings a pro-ready ability set with an amazing mix of instincts and athleticism on the linebacker place. Having Wilson and White’s velocity at inside linebacker can be too good to be true.

Spherical 2, Decide 53 – Xavier Worthy, Huge Receiver, Texas

This can be a pipe dream for me at this level. But when Xavier Worthy is there within the second spherical, the Eagles can be loopy to not take an opportunity on him. Might you think about defenses attempting to account for his 4.21 velocity whereas additionally attempting to include AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts??? Scary hours.

Spherical 3, Decide 98 – Kamren Kinchens, Security, Miami

Even with CJ Gardner Johnson again within the fold, the Eagles may draft one other security comparatively excessive and it will make sense. Sydney Brown is coming off a knee damage and Reed Blankenship was banged up all final 12 months. Additionally, Gardner Johnson did a few of his greatest work as a slot defender in Philadelphia and the Eagles may like him there. Kamren Kinchens can be nice within the third spherical, with loads of versatility to supply the Eagles of their secondary and excessive upside to be a high quality starter.

Spherical 5, Decide 161- Javon Foster, Deal with, Missouri

It’s very doable issues are trending in direction of the Eagles drafting an offensive lineman excessive, however they’ll nonetheless choose one up even when its not within the first two days. Javon Foster’s dimension, physicality and expertise within the SEC make him an amazing depth possibility for the Eagles’ reloading offensive line.

Spherical 5, Decide 171 – Jaheim Bell, Tight Finish, Florida State

Yeah yeah yeah. I do know. I like this choose. I feel it is sensible. Bell provides so much as a cross catcher. Make it occur.

Spherical 5, Decide 172- Kimani Vidal, Operating Again, Troy

After the Eagles gave Saquon Barkley, there have been rumblings that they nonetheless weren’t glad with their backfield. Why would they be? Kenneth Gainwell has but to actually stand out as a operating again and who is aware of if Boston Scott comes again for an additional season. Kimani Vidal has a D’Andre Swift-style ability set with a compact, muscular construct however a speedy and shifty operating type. He might be an amazing complement to Saquon Barkley, who little doubt will obtain a wholesome dose of carries in 2024.

Spherical 6, Decide 210: Jalen Inexperienced, Edge, James Madison

It’s unclear what’s going to occur with the Eagles edge rusher group. Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat are nonetheless on the staff regardless of rumors swirling about impending trades. If both or each of them are traded, the Eagles might want to add extra depth to that group. Jalen Inexperienced doesn’t determine as an NFL starter, however he’s a speedy cross rusher with nice hustle and he racked up 15.5 sacks in solely 9 video games in 2023 earlier than injuring his knee. He can be an amazing participant to take a flier on this late.
