The initial wave of NFL free agency is over, and the results could significantly impact April's NFL Draft, which will occur at the end of next month. Like every team in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles worked hard to retain their talent on the open market while looking to set aside cash for future deals. With no big-money deals paid in free agency, the Eagles will rebuild through the draft over the next two years.
Philadelphia is currently set to have eight selections in this year’s draft and could look to move out of Round 1 or add more depth after re-signing Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million contract just days before the start of free agency.
Here’s an updated look at how all seven rounds could turn out for the Eagles via the PFF Mock Draft simulator.
Philadelphia loves athletic offensive linemen, and Conerly fits that mold as Lane Johnson's eventual successor. The Seattle native, who started his career as a running back before transitioning to offensive tackle as a sophomore, doesn’t turn 22 until November. In his three seasons at Oregon, Conerly Jr. played 41 games and was a two-year starter. He played 1,881 snaps at left tackle in three seasons and had a 78.0 overall grade from PFF for the 2024 season.
Dallas Goedert is 30 years old and has missed 30 games with injuries since 2022. The noise around his potential departure grows by the day. Philadelphia had an exit strategy in place for Zach Ertz. They did the same with Goedert by drafting a dynamic tight end with run-after-the-catch abilities. A late bloomer at Miami, Arroyo entered 2024 with 11 receptions in three seasons, but after quarterback Cam Ward’s arrival, the pass-catcher blossomed. Arroyo averaged nearly 17 yards per catch in 2024 and is elite after the catch.
The safety played in 55 games and made 37 starts at Ohio State, overcoming injuries. During his final season in Columbus, Ransom finished with 74 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, one sack, two passes defended, three forced fumbles, one interception, and one fumble recovery. Alongside Downs, a unanimous All-American, Ransom earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2024.
Standing 6'4 3/4", 280 lbs., Jones is one of the few defenders in the class capable of playing defensive end or outside linebacker and could be a gamewrecker in Vic Fangio's scheme.
The Eagles' defense is full of Swiss army knives, and King gives Vic Fangio another pass-rushing, run-stopping linebacker to work with. A native of Michigan, King recorded 41 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three pass deflections during his redshirt freshman season in 2022. The following season, King recorded 59 tackles, six for loss and 1.5 sacks. Last season, the Nittany Lion linebacker recorded 97 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks.
A team with few holes continues to maintain depth on the offensive line. Colby is a quick, agile offensive guard who will improve an NFL team's zone running scheme. Colby started 23 straight games at right guard for the Hawkeyes. Before that stretch, Colby started seven games at left guard, six at right tackle, and 11 at right guard. With 45 career starts under his belt, Colby is among the most seasoned offensive linemen in the 2025 draft class. Colby is agile in space and rarely misses his marks.
The Eagles love athletic pass rushers, and after losing Josh Sweat in free agency, Howie Roseman reloads with Jah Joyner. Joyner had a standout performance at the Senior Bowl; last season had 32 tackles — 5.5 for loss — 4.5 sacks, seven passes defended, and two forced fumbles. Joyner was an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in the last two seasons and played 42 games in his four-year career.
A rangy and raw cornerback, Fortune became a full-time starter in 2023 and needs to continue developing.
