The Eagles are working with 11 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. He would have had a top-10 pick to start in the first round, but would be No. 12 overall on the clock for the first time on the night of April 29, after the 49ers, the Dolphins and the trades that included him.
Philadelphia will follow three picks with a two-day, three-rounder and two third-rounders, the last of which comes with the Colts from the Carson Wentz trade. The team closes with seven picks on Day 3, coming in well after number four 200.
Here’s how Sporting News presents drafts of all seven rounds for the Eagles:

Eagles Mock Draft 2021
No. 12 overall first round
- Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida (6-6, 245 pounds)
The Eagles have a clear athletic goal, but there is no guarantee that she will be available exclusively with Jerry Jones and pick two spots ahead of them as a potential luxury with rival Cowboys pits. There is also a chance that Pitts goes into the top five in either the Falcons or Bengals. But the team is set to make a fresh start from ZB Ertz, with QB Jalen Hurts and Pitts Nick Sirianni would be ideal extra targets in offense. With some maneuver, don’t be surprised if Philadelphia trades in a few spots to ensure a pass-catcher who breaks the game.
No. 37 overall, second round
- Dylan Moses, ILB, Alabama (6-3, 235 pounds)
He was for some time void of a scavenger playwright and leader of the second level. Rangi Moses will be very active in defending Jonathan Gannon.
No. 70 overall, third round
- Eliza Molden, CB, Washington (5–10, 191 lb)
The Eagles have messed up coverage everywhere and need to streamline the secondary with specific solutions. Molden has the perfect blend of toughness and sharpness to nail slots.
84 total, third round (from Colts)
- D’Wen Eskries, WR, Western Michigan (5-9, 189 lb)
Philadelphia should only use the draft to reset their goal with last year’s first-rounder Jalan Reagor and tight end Dallas Goedert, who have big roles for Hurts. After pushing the pits early, the Eagles may find the Eskries as a solid slot that plays larger than their frame.
Total 123, fourth round (from Dolphins)
- James Wiggins, S, Cincinnati (5-11, 209 pounds)
The Eagles signed former Vikings standout Anthony Harris, but as the other starter is Aging Rodney McLeod and the little swing depth Wiggins has some attractive all-around attributes that can be developed into a timely starting substance.
No. 150 overall, fifth round
- Demetric Felton, RB, UCLA (5-9, 189 lb)
Boston Scott and Jordan Howard were retained behind Miles Sanders, but Philadelphia should think of adding promising depth as a “sprawl roll” type. Felton can be an excellent short outlet option for Hurts and can also serve as a special teams dynamo.
Number 189, sixth round overall
- Keith Taylor Jr., CB, Washington (6-2, 187 pounds)
The Eagles doubled down on the Hawkeyes to help them regroup their secondary in this fake. Taylor is a much larger and different prospect than Morden, who may be overcrowded in man, but has some size, length and range appeal outside in zone coverage.
224 overall, sixth round (compensatory)
- Trevon Grimes, WR, Florida (6-4, 220 lb)
After Hurts give Pitts and Eskridge some more help here. Necessary size is being added to the duct received here. Grimes has good vertical skills and is used to play pits as a strong frame-based red zone target.
225 in total, sixth round (compensatory)
- Tommy Doyle, OT, Miami (Ohio) (6-6, 320 lb)
The Eagles need to use their choice to deal with a development. Doyle is an athletic, high-effort option who may have previously been a significant backup on both sides.
No. 234 overall, seventh round
- Jacoby Stevens, S, LSU (6-2, 212 pounds)
Philadelphia goes after a second safety who plays like an extra linebacker which is designed for excellent run support.
No.
- Mustafa Johnson, DT, Colorado (6-2, 290 pounds)
The Eagles can also use more depth for their 4-3 inside rotation. Johnson may still be on board late due to size concerns, but the bottom line is that he has a quick, active disruption motor.
