Philadelphia Eagles Day 2 Mock Draft: Adding on defense
By Hunter Doyle
Expect two more playmakers to join the Philadelphia Eagles on Day 2.
Wow. A.J. Brown is going to be in midnight green. The Philadelphia Eagles got him. They also added a gamechanger on the interior defensive line. Oh and the Sixers sent the Raptors home with a dominant victory. Did we mention the Phillies are back to .500 and swept the Rockies yesterday? It’s a day that will not be forgotten in recent Philly sports history.
Now, Philadelphia will look to Day 2 of the draft to continue to improve their squad. There are still some glaring holes on the roster, especially on defense.
It’s possible they will look to address some of these needs in free agency following the draft. Howie Roseman and company will have plenty of options on the board at picks 51 and 82. There are plenty of players still on the board who could be BPA (best player available) and fill a huge need for Philadelphia.
Last year, they came away with Landon Dickerson and Milton Williams. Heading into Year 2, both players seem poised to contribute in a big way.
Dickerson is clearly a high-level talent with the potential to be elite. Once he settled in at left guard, he never looked back. Williams came on strong at the end of the 2021 season and is poised to make a big jump in 2022. Can the Eagles keep a great stretch of moves going and land two more key pieces on Day 2? Let’s take a look at who they might be able to add.
