2024 NFL mock draft: Eagles add a familiar name at LB, while rebuilding in the trenches
The Eagles are 10-1 and atop the NFC East, but it’s never too early for a look ahead to the 2024 NFL draft.
Philadelphia has never drafted an off-the-ball linebacker in the first round, and they won’t this spring either, but Howie Roseman will reload in the trenches and could get a familiar name in the second round.
We’re looking ahead, and mock draft roundups have the Birds restocking in the trenches.
CBS Sports
CBS Sports has the Eagles adding a Pac 12 pass rusher.
Elliss has three brothers in the NFL, including Christian and Noah who have ties to the Eagles.
Round 1 – Pick 32
Jonah Elliss DE
UTAH • JR • 6’2″ / 246 LBSElliss is an emerging edge rusher in this class and the Eagles will want to continue to prepare for the future at that position.
SI.com
Luke Easterling has Philadelphia adding a familiar name at linebacker in the second round.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Xavier Legette | WR | South Carolina
There aren’t many (any?) glaring needs on this roster, so why not just give the Eagles another explosive pass-catcher? Legette’s combination of size, speed, and physicality could easily draw comparisons to A.J. Brown, and making him the No. 3 option for Jalen Hurts would be downright unfair to opposing defenses.
47. Philadelphia Eagles (from NO)
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. | LB | Clemson
64. Philadelphia Eagles
T.J. Tampa | CB | Iowa State
*98. Philadelphia Eagles
Javon Foster | OT | Missouri
The Athletic
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler has Philadelphia adding Lane Johnson or Jordan Mailata’s eventual replacement.
32. Philadelphia Eagles: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Educated guess: Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is going to be lovestruck once he gets eyes on Suamataia’s tape. Yes, the BYU left tackle is young and will need time, but Philadelphia drafts with long-term plans in mind. Suamataia has the talent to provide depth as a rookie and the upside to be an impact starter down the road.
Draft Wire
Curt Popejoy of Draft Wire has Philadelphia taking two defenders and a speedy wide receiver.
32 – Philadelphia Eagles – S Tyler Nubin, Minnesota
The Eagles don’t have a lot of holes on their roster but adding a big, paymaking free safety makes a lot of sense here. Don’t rule out a wide receiver if one falls.
51 – Philadelphia Eagles – CB T.J. Tampa, Iowa
64 – Philadelphia Eagles – WR Troy Franklin, Oregon
