Eagles NFL mock draft 2023: 7-round mock draft for Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles nearly got it done in the 2022 season but fell just short in a thrilling Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles have the pieces to keep the success rolling for a long time, though having this many wins leads to poor draft position.

Eagles 7-round mock draft

Analysis

The Eagles made a couple strong defensive upgrades in the first round, starting with former Oregon Ducks cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Gonzalez brings elite speed to the position with an ideal size at 6-foot-1 with athleticism that could turn him into a star.

With the second pick in Round 1, Philadelphia went with former Iowa State Cyclones edge rusher Will McDonald IV. This pick would make a ton of sense considering the Eagles have Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett in a contract year going into the 2023 season.

Elsewhere in the mock, Philadelphia used Day 2 draft picks on North Dakota State offensive tackle along with another edge rusher with Karl Brooks from Bowling Green in the third round.
