Seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft: Eagles reload depth at key positions

The Eagles are champions, and with the Super Bowl behind us, the NFL offseason is officially here. All eyes will turn toward the 2025 NFL draft. The first day will feature only the first round, the second day will feature the second and third rounds, and the draft will conclude with the final four rounds on the third day.

This year, the NFL Draft will begin at Lambeau Field in the Titletown district in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

2025 NFL draft mock

With the draft just one month away, we’re releasing our third seven-round mock draft for the Eagles Wire via the PFF draft simulator and sending reinforcements to Philadelphia at several key positions on both sides of the football.

Rd 2 pick 36: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

Eagles trade pick 32 in Rd 1 to Jaguars for pick 32 in R2 and pick 107 in R4

Sanders is a 6-5, 275-pound defensive lineman who can play on the edge or in the defense’s interior. Sanders spent four years in the Gamecock program as an All-State basketball player in high school, appearing in 39 games over four seasons with 16 career starts. Sanders logged 109 tackles with 17.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks and turned pro after earning All-America and All-SEC honors.

Rd 2 pick 64: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

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.

Rd 3 pick 96: Lathan Ransom, DB, Ohio State

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.

Rd 4 pick 107: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

The Eagles don’t have many needs, but a speedy wide receiver who can take the top off a defense is never bad. Even after drafting Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith in 2024, Philadelphia can afford to invest in the position after losing Parris Campbell and Britain Covey. Bond was clocked at over 22 mph in a win against UTSA last season. He finished the 2024 season with 34 catches for 540 yards and five touchdowns. He is the No. 10 wide receiver in Mel Kiper Jr.’s draft rankings.

Rd 5 pick 161: Kobe King, LB, Penn State

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.

Rd 5 pick 164: Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia

Etienne was a member of the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2022 at the University of Florida. He’s the younger brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne.

Rd 5 pick 165: Upton Stout, DB, Western Kentucky

Upton Stout is an undersized but physical cornerback from Western Kentucky who brings serious potential at 5’8″ and 178 pounds. His slight frame and limited length make him a slot CB at the next level. Stout attacks everything downhill and will significantly contribute to the run game and against screens. With Cooper DeJean potentially moving to the outside cornerback spot, he could be a starter as a rookie.

Rd 5 pick 168: Connor Colby, OL, Iowa

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.
