Eagles Seven-Round Mock Draft
On Monday the Eagles shook up the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft by trading picks #16, #19, and #194 to the Saints for picks #18, #101, #237, a 2023 first-rounder, and a 2024 second-rounder. What we imagined all along finally happened, the Eagles picking up an extra first next year. After what I consider a win in the trade books for Howie, here is my seven-round mock draft for the Eagles. For the sake of this mock draft, there will be no trades, but don’t expect that to be the case during the draft itself.
Round 1 Pick #15- Devin Lloyd, Linebacker, Utah
With the Eagles’ first selection in this mock draft, I have them taking arguably the best linebacker in this class. Lloyd can do everything you ask of him. He would be the anchor in the middle of Jonathan Gannon’s defense and make a nice pairing with Kyzir White next season.

Round 1 Pick #18- Trent McDuffie, Cornerback, Washington
The Eagles have been rumored to be “in on” McDuffie. McDuffie would help solve a lot of questions in the Eagles’ secondary. McDuffie would give the Eagles a much-needed cornerback number two and a future cornerback number one once Slay is gone.

Round 2 Pick #51- Travis Jones, Defensive Tackle, Connecticut
Jones was a stand-out during the Senior Bowl and would fill in nicely as the long-term defensive tackle, as well as be a nice rotational player his rookie year. He also can get a year to learn from star pass rushers Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave, so that’s a bonus.
Round 3 Pick #83- Nick Cross, Safety, Maryland
Considering the Eagles don’t currently have a starting safety opposite of Anthony Harris for next year, I think this is a good pick. Cross could see a lot of time as a rookie.

Round 3 Pick #101- Myjai Sanders, Defensive End, Cincinnati
The Eagles picked up an extra third-rounder after the trade with the Saints. Sanders gives the Eagles another solid edge rusher. Sanders possesses good speed off the edge and plays the run well. He could come in and be an immediate rotational player with developmental upside.

Round 4 Pick #124- Kyren Williams, Running Back, Notre Dame
A very good pass-catching back and he could be nicely utilized as a rookie.
Round 5 Pick #154- Markquese Bell, Safety, Florida A&M
More backend secondary depth and he is a versatile defender. Bell would most likely be a special teams player his rookie year.

Round 5 Pick #162- Chris Paul, Tackle/Guard, Tulsa
During his time at Tulsa, he made starts at right guard, right tackle, and left guard. Nice depth piece that provides versatility.

Round 5 Pick #166- Ellis Brooks, Linebacker, Penn State
Brooks is a smart player who plays bigger than his size. He isn’t the biggest or strongest, but he has a good motor and plays the run very well given his size. He could maybe push for snaps his rookie year, but more than likely he would be a special teams player

Round 7 Pick #237 Charleston Rambo, Wide Receiver, Miami
Rambo is a great athlete and would have a shot of cracking the final 53, given the Eagles’ current depth at receiver. Rambo has shown flashes throughout his time at Oklahoma and Miami but hasn’t been able to put it all together. He is worth a flier in the seventh.

Analysis: In this mock draft the Eagles get talent to help them right now and players that could develop down the line. Lloyd and McDuffie would come in and be immediate starters on the team, while Jones, Cross, Sanders, and Willaims would all play significant time in their rookie years. All in all, if the Eagles came away with a draft similar to this I would be ecstatic, but we know Howie isn’t done wheeling and dealing. We will have to see what moves he has up his sleeves draft weekend.
