With the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense set to take a large step forward in 2017, we believe the team will focus on defense in this year’s draft.

The 2017 NFL Draft is just over a week away. For the first time since 1960, the City of Brotherly Love will host the event, which will be held outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. And, of course, prospects will run up the Rocky Steps when their name is called. Without a doubt, it is going to be an awesome atmosphere not just for Eagles fans, but for football fans in general.

With the draft so tantalizingly close, mock draft season has hit full speed. Prospects are meeting with teams and rumors are swirling. Who could the Eagles possibly select with their No. 14 overall pick? Here, we will do our best to project who will be the team’s newest (and youngest) faces.
