After months of chatter and speculation, the 2025 NFL Draft is almost here. It's finally draft week! The Eagles enter this draft with pick No. 32 in the first round and a total of eight selections; they have a pick in each of the first four rounds and four in the fifth.

Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia What they said: "It's not really an NFL draft unless the reigning champions enlist a defender from Georgia. Williams could be a phenomenal value at this spot and a very nice backfill for departed Sweat – even if he's in a rotational role early, as he was in Athens. Williams' numbers for the Bulldogs (14 sacks and 57 hurries in three seasons) are actually unusually good given the depth of that defense and how rarely it had to be on the field.
" My take on the pick: Most mock drafts have Williams off the board well before the bottom of the first round but the Eagles have found great value in each of the last two years later than expected. They landed Quinyon Mitchell at 22 last year and Nolan Smith at 30 the year before. So who's to say that Williams won't be there at 32 this year? Williams (6-5, 267) was productive during his three years at Georgia and still has plenty of room for growth.
He hasn't even turned 21 yet! Williams played through an ankle injury most of the 2024 season and still managed to have 5 sacks and 8 1/2 tackles for loss. Williams has a huge frame and has all the tools to become a really good starting edge rusher. The Eagles would probably be thrilled at an outcome like this.
