Philadelphia Eagles, seven-round mock draft: Picking 12th
By Hunter Doyle
The Philadelphia Eagles are picking 12th! Here’s a new mock.
There was plenty of speculation about whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles would trade back from the sixth pick on draft night. They instead did so earlier than expected.
General manager and vice president Howie Roseman made the move by trading away the sixth overall pick and a fifth-round pick (156th overall) in exchange for the Miami Dolphins’ 12th overall pick, fourth-round pick (123rd overall), and their 2022 first-round pick. This news came after the San Francisco 49ers traded up to acquire the Dolphins third-overall pick.
This was quite the blockbuster in terms of draft picks and implications for the teams involved. According to reports, the Eagles were interested in trading up for top quarterback prospect Zach Wilson. Instead, the 49ers moved up and the Philadelphia Eagles decided to acquire more draft capital while still staying in the top 15.
As usual, Eagles fans will have conflicting opinions on the trade, and this isn’t an attempt to sway you either way. Instead, we’ll assess each pick and who might be available. With Howie Roseman as a general manager, fans always have to be prepared for a surprise. Who knows what Philly’s supporters might be in for.
Just days after our most recent seven-round mock draft, we’re diving straight into the pool with another. Let’s not waste any more time.
