If you're like the rest of us, your thirst for football is never quinched. You aren't just captivated by the Philadelphia Eagles' games. You're also watching press conferences and reading some early mock drafts in an attempt to stay abreast of everything that happens or is said in the football universe. Raise your hand if you're also watching college football to see some future NFL stars.
We're too far from April to take mock drafts seriously. We're still trying to navigate this season, but just for kicks, let's take a look at projected Eagles draft picks. Then, we'll look at the current draft order if the season would have ended after Week 4.
List of projected Eagles draft picks in 2024.
Here's a look at projected Eagles picks for the 2024 NFL Draft. Three picks are Philly's own. They are also in possession of a second-rounder they earned during a 2022 offseason trade involving the New Orleans Saints.
They also have pair of fifth-rounders they nabbed from the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are also expected to wind up with four compensatory picks following this past offseason when they lost both starters and key pieces from what wound up being an NFC-winning roster.
