How would you grade this projection?
Welcome to this year’s Mock Simulation Series! Each week, I will run a simulation of the 2025 NFL Draft for the Philadelphia Eagles using the Pro Football Focus Draft Simulator.
Round 1, Pick 32 (for the Super Bowl Winner): Jalon Walker, Linebacker/Edge Defender, Georgia
Okay, I am calling it. After much internal struggle, Jalon Walker is my guy in this draft. And he needs to be an Eagle. Vic Fangio can use him as a defensive multi-tool that can play off-ball and the drop onto the line of scrimmage in obvious passing situations. He can be a weapon in this defense.
Round 2, Pick 64: Benjamin Morrison, Cornerback, Notre Dame
Cooper DeJean Scenario 2.0 with Benjamin Morrison. The Notre Dame cornerback would be a first round pick if not for an injury riddled final season at South Bend. The Eagles benefit and get a player who could immediately compete for the CB2 spot.
Round 3, Pick 96: Ashton Gillotte, Defensive Lineman, Louisville
Ashton Gillotte is a peculiar prospect. He is short, stout, strong as hell and has a great motor. He might be a tweener in the NFL, but he reminds me of an Eagle who just retired after 15 years with the team… Gillotte’s strength and motor could be an asset as someone who’d an set the edge against the run or slide inside on sub-packages.
Round 4, Pick 134: Mitchell Evans, Tight End, Notre Dame
It feels like we are only days away from a Dallas Goedert trade. If that happens, tight end becomes a top priority for the team. In the meantime, they can target mid round tight ends. Mitchell Evans has all the traits of an NFL tight end, but had his production limited in a run heavy Notre Dame offense. His best ball is still ahead of him.
Round 5, Pick 161: Nick Nash, Wide Receiver, San Jose State
Nick Nash would be such a great late round pick for an Eagles team in need of wide receiver depth. Nash is not an exceptional athlete, but has a long build and is a refined technician at the receiver position. He would push the other young guys on the depth chart in camp and could emerge as a viable option in the passing game behind the obvious stars.
Round 5, Pick 164: Connor Colby, Guard, Iowa
We all know the late round guard/tackle pick is happening.
Round 5, Pick 165: Quinn Ewers, Quarterback, Texas
The QB factory is a 24/7/365 operation. While Dorian Thompson-Robinson is an exciting QB3 option for the Eagles, Quinn Ewers has a lot of potential to be a legit NFL quarterback. Injuries played a role in his uneven college career, but the talent is obvious. This could be another Howie Roseman masterclass where he’s traded for a third round pick or something in the future before his rookie contract is up.
Round 5 Pick, Pick 168: Simeon Barrow Junior, Defensive Lineman, Miami
Replacing Milton Williams is not going to be easy, but the Eagles should swing on as many pass rushing defensive lineman as they’re able to. Simeon Barrow is an extremely adept pass rushing specialist. Getting him in the fifth would be a steal!
