The Philadelphia Eagles are currently 2-7 and in last place in the NFC East. After losing seven consecutive games, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was a bit less active than some anticipated ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline. Yet Roseman did make one unexpected deal by trading IDL Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for multiple draft picks.
One of the picks acquired from the Jaguars in return for Davis was Jacksonville’s first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Now Roseman is currently projected to have nine total draft picks to work with during the event. While the Eagles won’t admit it, Philadelphia is entering a retooling phase that could bring plenty of changes in the City of Brotherly Love. It’s going to be fascinating to see how Roseman manages it all, especially with a growing treasure chest of assets.
Here’s the fourth edition of my Way-Too-Early Eagles 2027 Mock Draft.
Round 1, Pick 5: Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame
The Eagles have a foundational cornerback duo of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. While DeJean struggled to start the regular season, he has looked better as the year has progressed and likely isn’t going anywhere. Despite Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen being involved in trade rumors, Philadelphia elected to hold onto him for now. Yet his future with the Eagles remains uncertain as he’s slated to be a free agent in 2027. Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore is one of the best prospects in the upcoming draft class and he would round out a dominant cornerback trio in Philadelphia.
Round 1, Pick 26: Trevor Lauck, OL, Iowa
It’s no secret that Philadelphia’s offensive line has been at the core of the team’s struggles in recent seasons. The Eagles must get back to investing in the trenches and Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Lauck would give Philadelphia a new building block to work with. While Lauck has primarily played left tackle for the Hawkeyes, some believe that he could move inside to guard at the next level. Regardless of where Lauck plays, he would give the Eagles much-needed talent upfront. Lauck would likely compete for the starting right tackle job in 2027 and if he doesn’t workout there, he could move to either guard spot.
Round 2, Pick 36: Brauntae Johnson, S, Notre Dame
The Eagles appear to be in trouble at safety, as second-year safety Andrew Mukuba continues to struggle in 2026. Philadelphia has also relied on a trio of players opposite of Mukuba, which has caused far too many communication issues this season. The team needs to invest an early pick at the position and Notre Dame safety Brauntae Johnson could be exactly what Philadelphia needs. “Tae” is a former wide receiver and basketball player that moved to cornerback before making the switch to safety in 2025. While Johnson has battled injuries at Notre Dame, his upside at the position and ball-hawking skills would be too enticing to pass up on.
Round 3, Pick 97: Anthony Smith, EDGE, Minnesota
Philadelphia’s pass rush finally came alive in Week 9 but it’s been nowhere near consistent enough to stop investing in. Especially with both Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt heading into contract years in 2027. The Eagles must continue to invest on the edge and Minnesota’s Anthony Smith could be an ideal choice on day two. At 6’6” and 280 lbs., the Shippensburg, Pennsylvania native possesses the size and versatility to fit any scheme and wreck the game from different alignments.
Round 4, Pick 106: Brendan Sorsby, QB, Texas Tech
It’s fair to say that the future of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is uncertain. Therefore, Philadelphia should consider adding another quarterback at some point in the 2027 NFL Draft. Even if Hurts returns to full health, his contract situation is worth monitoring and the Eagles don’t currently have a QB2 under contract that they could feel confident in moving forward. While Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has dealt with controversy due to his gambling issues, it’s hard to deny his talent. At this point in the event, it’s worth betting on Sorsby (pun intended).
Round 5, Pick 140: Benjamin Brahmer, TE, Penn State
While the Eagles elected to hold onto veteran tight end Dallas Goedert past the trade deadline, his best days are likely behind him. Rookie tight end Eli Stowers hasn’t played much and Philadelphia simply doesn’t have a ton outside of him to build on for the long haul. At 6’7” and 250 lbs., Penn State tight end Benjamin Brahmer possesses the size that Stowers doesn’t and would give the Eagles a promising tight end duo to build on for the foreseeable future.
Round 5, Pick 149: Alani Noa, OL, USC
Given the uncertainty along Philadelphia’s offensive line, it would make plenty of sense for the Eagles to double dip along the trenches. USC guard Alani Noa has primarily played right guard for the Trojans and would immediately give Philadelphia much-needed depth at that spot. With current Eagles starting right guard Tyler Steen slated to become a free agent, Noa would be able to compete for the starting job in 2027 or provide the team with depth along the interior.
Round 5, Pick 156: Mark Fletcher Jr., RB, Miami (FL)
Speaking of depth, Philadelphia’s depth at running back has been pushed to the limits this season. The Eagles haven’t drafted a running back since picking Will Shipley in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Following all of the team’s injuries at running back this season, the Eagles should add one at some point during the event. Miami (FL) running back Mark Fletcher Jr. was a force for the Hurricanes in 2025 and would give Philadelphia much-needed depth at the position moving forward.
Round 7, Pick 248: Dallas Afalava, IDL, Wake Forest
It seems like the Eagles are going all-in on the interior defensive lineman duo of Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo. If that’s the case, Philadelphia will have to add some low-cost depth behind them. Following the departure of Davis and with Byron Young slated to become a free agent, Wake Forest’s Dallas Afalava is an intriguing player to watch for late on day three. After starting his collegiate career at Idaho, Afalava has grown into a versatile piece along the defensive front for the Demon Deacons. He would bring value as a rotational piece and special teams contributor.
