There’s more than just one round of the draft
The 2025 NFL Draft is next week, and 257 players will be selected. Most mock drafts only go to 32, so let’s dig deeper in the mocks with some multi-round mocks. Spoiler alert: edge rusher is a very popular position for the Birds.
Jeff Ridson, DraftWire
32: Donovan Ezeiruaku
64: Hollin Pierce
Ezeiruaku is a pretty common pick at 32. Good measurables and great production, and there’s definitely interest on the Eagles part because they have had him in for one of their 30 official visits, and the team hasn’t messed around with these in recent drafts. Don’t see the Eagles going OT in the 2nd, but 6’8” Pierce does fit the size prototype the Eagles like at OT.

32: Shavon Revel
64: Princely Umanmielen
96: Jaylin Lane
134: Jack Sawyer
161: Korie Black
164: Mitchell Evans
165: Barryn Sorrell
168: Ty Robinson
We talked about Revel a couple of weeks ago, 32 is too high to take him for the Eagles, who have more pressing needs than a corner coming off an ACL tear.
Umanmielen, like his DL mate Walter Nolen, transferred to Ole Miss a year ago and finally started hitting on some of his potential. But as a 5th year player and on a strong line, how much of his breakout was really on him?
The Eagles should draft an EDGE but they don’t really have room to draft two, and I really do not Jack Sawyer anyway.
Black is another player the Eagles have brought in for a visit, but it should be noted that he wasn’t invited to the Combine.

32: Walter Nolen
64: Marcus Mbow
96: Kyle Kennard
Nolen is a popular pick for the Eagles, we know what he is, which is a guy who we don’t know what he is because of the untapped potential.
MBow is another in a long line of OTs who will be Gs in this draft. The Eagles have had him in for one of their 30 visits, so he is very much in play for them. Kennard had a great season but it was a 5th year breakout. 96 is a fair landing spot.
Lou Scataglia, NFL Spin Zone
32: Tyleik Williams
64: Jayden Higgins
96: Jordan Burch
Williams would be a really good choice at 32. 64 is too early for a WR but if Higgins is available this could be another “why do teams keep letting the Eagles draft good players” pick as he is expected to be gone by then. Burch is a DT/DE tweener that the Eagles have drafted in the 3rd round before: Milton Williams.
Jacob Infante, Pro Football Network
32: James Pearce
64: Isaiah Bond
96: Joshua Farmer
134: Caleb Ransaw
161: Garrett Dellinger
164: Nick Martin
165: Thomas Fidone
168: Chase Lundt
Pearce is another common selection for the Eagles, but is he even on their board? They haven’t had him in for a visit but they have had the similarly lanky Donovan Ezeiruaku, and there have been character concerns on Pearce all offseason that have not gone away.
Every draft pick is about potential but some are more than others, where teams are making bets entirely on a player’s physical profile because their production and/or tape is underwhelming or non existent. Bond and Farmer are two of those types of players in this draft. Bond had just 34 catches in 2024, just 22 against a Power 4 team, and had just 2 catches in three playoff games. Farmer, like everyone else on FSU, had a really disappointing season, but his physical profile is the kind that teams like.
Ransaw played outside at Troy and slot at Tulane, should be a guy who can compete for a role in the secondary as a rookie. Dellinger has the profile the Eagles like at iOL. Martin fits the Nakobe Dean profile of undersized LB (he’s 5’11”) who makes plays all over the field, in 2023 he was tackling machine but also led the Sooners in sacks and tackles for loss, and had two interceptions and a forced fumble. In 2024 he missed seven games with a knee injury. Fidone is a good athlete who would have a higher draft stock if his QBs weren’t so busy throwing interceptions; big red flag for him though in that he tore the same ACL twice in two years as an underclassman. At 6’7” Lundt is the type of massive OT the Eagles love, but he is a t-rex (sub 33” arms and sub 10” hands) which should take him off the Eagles board, but this is a draft filled with small armed OTs.
