Despite the Eagles giving up a large number of picks in their trade with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, the still have seven selections in next week's draft. As we've stated before, mock drafts are often terribly inaccurate, but can still be a useful tool in order to look at certain players who could interest Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson at different points in the draft.
The Eagles did give up three of their picks this year, but with five selections in the last three rounds they do have some opportunities to add some depth pieces to their roster, guys who may fit Pederson's or Jim Schwartz's scheme better than Chip Kelly's leftovers. So without further adieu, here is our latest shot at projecting the picks the Eagles could make next week.
Round 1, Pick 2 (2): QB Carson Wentz, NDSU
It seems like the Rams are sold on Jared Goff, so Wentz is the Eagles pick right now, but things can change between now and Draft night. Wentz may have a higher ceiling than Goff, but he needs some refinement, and with Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel on the roster, the Eagles can afford to give the North Dakota native a year on the bench so he can learn the intricacies of the west coast offense. The Eagles gave up a lot for him, but Wentz certainly has the potential to be the next face of the franchise.
Round 3, Pick 16 (79): DT Willie Henry, Michigan
The Eagles defensive line may be the team's biggest strength, but it needs a lot of depth, especially on the interior. Henry is incredibly athletic for someone who weighs over 300 pounds and he is only a month removed from his 21st birthday. He is exceptionally strong at the point of attack and could bolster the Eagles defensive tackle rotation immediately. Add him to Bennie Logan and Fletcher Cox and the interior of the Eagles line could consistently wreak some havoc.
Round 5, Pick 14 (153): G Alex Redmond, UCLA
Redmond is an uber-athletic guard, but there are some concerns about his weight and strength at the point of attack. With Pederson and the Eagles running a zone blocking scheme, Redmond could fit into a role as a pull blocker on outside runs and screens. It is really early, but it seems like the team is fine with Allen Barbre playing at left guard in 2016 and he is serviceable. Give Redmond some time in the weight room and hope he can turn into an average starter.
Round 5, Pick 25 (164): WR DeMarcus Robinson, Florida
Robinson isn't a player the Eagles would have even considered under Chip Kelly, but the team has already hosted him for an official visit, so there is some interest. The Florida product played just one full season with the Gators and was suspended four separate times during his college career. Robinson caught 51 balls for 810 yards and seven touchdowns in 2014, but his numbers regressed last year before he was suspended for the final game of the season. He's an elite deep threat and, if he can overcome his maturity issues, he could be a major weapon for the Eagles. But his off-the-field concerns are a huge risk and that is why he's available in the fifth round.
Round 6, Pick 13 (188): T Joe Dahl, Washington State
Dahl won't blow you away with his athleticism, but he is a very smart, experienced football player. He will have a better shot at making it in the NFL if he shifts to guard, but his grit and toughness make him a perfect candidate for a backup lineman, capable of moving all over the line. His ceiling is low, but he has the potential to carve out a niche as an above-average depth piece.
Round 7, Pick 12 (233): LB Antonio Morrison, Florida
The only holdover from our last mock draft, Morrison plays a violent brand of football. Like most late round picks, he doesn't have world-class athleticism and he is a bit udersized for his position. It's been repeated multiple times that the Eagles have a dire need for depth linebackers, especially on the inside. Morrison's aggressiveness sometimes gets him in trouble and he struggles to make up for missed reads. However, he's a tough, mean, throwback linebacker that can add some attitude to the defense.
Round 7, Pick 30 (251): CB Ken Crawley, Colorado
Crawley is an intriguing prospect who put up very little production during his time in college. Standing 6'0", Crawley has good length and athleticism for a corner, but isn't very disciplined in his coverage. Despite recording 13 pass breakups and 46 tackles his senior year, he had just three interceptions during his four seasons at Colorado. On top of that, he was flagged for 12 pass interference calls in 2015 and allowed 19 TDs in his career. With where the Eagles stand at cornerback, they don't need another guy who can be an average depth piece. Crawley could find himself on the practice squad and focus on his technique for a year or two and potentially turn into a decent NFL cornerback.
