Cameron Sheath (Pro Football Network): “The Eagles addressed their secondary in a big way in 2024, drafting Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean early. While their two rookies performed outstandingly, the team still relied on veteran Darius Slay to man the perimeter opposite Mitchell. To maintain DeJean’s freedom to roam around the formation, the team will need to add an outside corner to replace Slay, who is now in Pittsburgh. Amos brings good size (6’1″, 195 pounds) and impressive coverage skills to complement Quinyon Mitchell on the opposite boundary.”
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Daniel Jeremiah (NFL.com): “The rules are simple with the Eagles: They take the best Alabama or Georgia player who falls into their lap. Campbell is my No. 12 player in the draft, so he would be a tremendous value at the end of Round 1. If not for the shoulder surgery he’s recovering from, he’d be a lock to go much higher.”
Mel Kiper (ESPN): “Combining Campbell with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean at the second level would make Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio smile. Campbell does it all. He finished last season with 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and an interception. This Super Bowl-winning defense saw a lot of turnover earlier in the offseason, but Campbell has the toolbox to contribute in multiple ways.”
Keith Sanchez (TheDraftNetwork): “One of the biggest reasons they are champs is their ability to identify the upside in front-seven talent and utilize it. This year, that guy is Jihaad Campbell. Campbell has exceptional length and range for a linebacker. But for a linebacker, he has tremendous upside as a pass rusher and could be a very impactful player rushing off the edge or blitzing.”
Lance Zierlein (NFL.com): “Conerly is excellent value here, giving Philadelphia a right tackle of the future who can slide inside and compete for a job at guard in the meantime. Or the Eagles trade out.”
Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
Dane Brugler (The Athletic): “Ezeiruaku is No. 22 in my final top 100, but he falls to the Super Bowl champs here. With his length, bend and proven ability to reach the quarterback, he would check several boxes for the Eagles at the position.”
Gennaro Filice (NFL.com): “Ezeiruaku fittingly comes off the board right after Mike Green, as the Boston College star fell a half-sack shy of his Marshall counterpart for last season’s FBS crown in sacks, finishing with 16.5. He has an odd body type for an edge rusher: slightly undersized at 6-2 1/2 and 248 pounds, but with 34-inch vines for arms. Howie Roseman isn’t afraid to take a walk on the wild side, though. Remember when the Eagles selected Nolan Smith near the end of Round 1 two years ago despite concerns about his substandard dimensions? That move just paid serious dividends in Philadelphia’s second Lombardi Trophy run.”
Joe DeLeone (Pro Football Network): “With Josh Sweat departing in free agency, the Eagles could look for a pass-rushing specialist with one of their early picks. Enter Ezeiruaku, who is fast, plays with great leverage, and displays hand-fighting nuance to win in one-on-one battles.”
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Peter Schrager (ESPN): “The Eagles took cornerbacks with their first- and second-round picks a year ago, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t add to the defensive backfield considering the turnover this offseason. Hairston is a speedster — he ran a 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the combine — who is just scratching the surface of his talent.”
Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
Anthony DiBona (Philly Sports Network): “Jackson started 31 games at left guard for the Buckeyes. He also showcased his versatility by starting nine games at left tackle in 2024. Jackson is a former five-star recruit, which is something that Roseman has valued in recent years. The 22-year-old also had a top 30 visit to Philadelphia, which serves as a strong indicator of the team’s interest.”
Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi
Rhett Lewis (NFL.com): “Philly’s drafting dominance along the defensive line continues with the selection of Nolen, who furthers the Eagles’ tradition of stockpiling at positions of strength, reinforcing their championship formula.”
Nate Tice and Charles McDonald (Yahoo! Sports): “Nolen could go 20 spots higher or 20 spots lower and I wouldn’t blink. He’s incredibly talented, but needs to go to a place that will sharpen and hone his talent. The defending Super Bowl champion that has other talent on the defensive line with Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator and Clint Hurtt as defensive line coach is a pretty good landing spot for him!”
Mike Renner (CBS Sports): “Nolen is the exact kind of explosive defensive tackle the Eagles need to replace Milton Williams. He’s NFL-ready in the run game with tons of potential as a pass-rusher.”
