Eagles’ 7-round mock draft: Final predictions for every pick, including two heirs apparent

Over the last two years, Jacas has combined for 19 sacks and six forced fumbles. He has an average first step and is not super twitchy, but his play strength, relentless motor and pass-rush savvy make him a high-floor prospect. He would improve the depth of Philadelphia’s defensive line and could develop into a starter during his rookie contract.

Round 3 (No. 68): De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss

Stribling has a great combination of size (6-2, 207 pounds) and speed (4.36 40-yard dash), making him difficult to cover downfield.

Stribling’s ability to win over the top could maximize the skill set of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is one of the league’s best deep-ball throwers. He finished the 2025 season with 55 catches for 811 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 14.7 yards per reception.

Stribling would help replace some of A.J. Brown’s production this upcoming season and could develop into a quality starter. He wore the No. 1 jersey at Ole Miss, just like Brown did.

Round 3 (No. 98): Trey Zuhn III, G/C, Texas A&M

A four-year starter at left tackle for the Aggies, Zuhn is expected to move inside to guard or center in the NFL. He has the skills to thrive on the interior. He’s quick and explosive out of his stance, climbs to the second level to make difficult blocks and plays with a good anchor in pass protection. He could either replace the Eagles’ starting left guard, Landon Dickerson, or their starting right guard, Tyler Steen, in 2027. He could also start games at center or tackle if injuries happen. He would be a safe, smart pick.

Round 4 (No. 114): VJ Payne, S, Kansas State

Payne is a freaky athlete who has a wingspan of about 81 inches.

That length shows up on tape. He knocks tight ends off their routes and makes plays on the ball. He plays physically in the box and in the slot, and is consistently disruptive.

Payne finished with 59 tackles, one interception, and two forced fumbles last season. Philadelphia could view him as a potential starter next to free safety Drew Mukuba.

Round 4 (No. 137): Marlin Klein, TE, Michigan

Klein spent the past two seasons in an uninspiring offense hampered by poor quarterback play and did not produce much. He recorded only 24 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown this past season.

Despite those modest numbers, Klein has the tools to be more productive in the NFL.

He’s flashed upside as a route runner and has won down the seam against slower linebackers and safeties. He’s also developed into a strong blocker at the point of attack.

He could become Philadelphia’s No. 2 tight end next season and play a decent role in the passing game. His athleticism and blocking should translate to the NFL.

Round 5 (No. 178): Nick Barrett, DT, South Carolina

Barrett takes on blocks with great strength, has powerful hands and moves well. He doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher, but he could be an effective run stuffer. The 6-2, 312-pound defensive tackle finished the 2025 season with 42 tackles and two sacks. The Eagles could add Barrett to a deep rotation in 2026 and play him over Ty Robinson and Byron Young.

Round 6 (No. 197): Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo

Fuller is a physical, 6-1, 200-pound cornerback. He knocks wide receivers off their routes and makes tackles around the line of scrimmage. Philadelphia could bring him in as a developmental cornerback. He could reunite with college teammate Quinyon Mitchell in the Eagles’ cornerback room and provide solid depth and contribute on special teams.
