The NFL draft is here, as Philadelphia and 31 other teams complete their final big boards ahead of Thursday night's first round.
Philadelphia is loaded on the offensive side of the football, and GM Howie Roseman could look to restock the defense with three of the first 96 picks and five selections in round five. With draft night quickly approaching, we're looking at the biggest questions at each offensive position group.
After acquiring Dorian Thompson-Robinson from the Browns for Kenny Pickett, the Eagles are unlikely to draft a quarterback in the late rounds or sign an undrafted free agent. The only questions surrounding Eagles quarterbacks are whether Jalen Hurts will convince GM Howie Roseman to add another weapon to the skill position groups, and whether Tanner McKee could draw trade interest.
Saquon Barkley is the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, coming off 2,0005 rushing yards last season. Philadelphia signed AJ Dillon in free agency and drafted Will Shipley in 2024. Will the Eagles use a late-round pick on a running back and special-teams contributor?
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders in a trade before the 2024 season. They exchanged a 2025 third-round pick, two seventh-round picks for Dotson, and a fifth-round pick. Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The team signed former Panthers second-round pick Terrace Marshall Jr. last week and drafted Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith in 2024. The Eagles have a dynamic duo on the outside, but will GM Howie Roseman feel inner pressure to target another potential weapon?
Dallas Goedert is a star, and when he's healthy, the talented pass catcher is one of the top tight ends in the NFL. Goedert is 30 years old, and like Zach Ertz before him, the Eagles seem to be preparing for an exit strategy as they work to get younger at the position. Goedert is set to enter the final year of his deal and has no guaranteed money with his $11,810,583 salary cap hit for 2025. Last season, Goedert played in 10 games, logging 42 receptions for 496 yards, averaging 11.8 yards per catch, and two scores. Goedert has missed 15 games since the 2022 season and has only played a full slate of games once.
Will the Eagles select a tight end in the first or second round?
Tyler Steen was drafted in the third round of the 2023 draft and has yet to lock down the starting right guard position. The Eagles traded for Kenyon Green and have Trevor Keegan and other players on the roster. Will Philadelphia target an interior offensive lineman in the first three rounds?
