2025 NFL mock draft with all trades: Deals for Round 1 picks - ESPN
Eagles get: 2-51, 2026 first-round pick ... Broncos get: 1-32, 3-96 ... The Eagles have been paid handsomely for their willingness to be patient in the past. They made a similar move with the Saints in 2022, adding draft capital while swapping the 16th pick for a future first-rounder. The Saints’ pick in 2023 was better than the one Philly shipped off, allowing the Eagles to move up from No. 10 to select Jalen Carter. Sean Payton has also been on the other side of this sort of move. In 2011, the then-Saints coach sent his second-round pick and a future first-rounder to the Patriots, drafting running back Mark Ingram late in the first round. Now, Payton’s Broncos need a running back to help out Bo Nix. If they don’t take a back at No. 20, they might want to grab him here to get ahead of the Browns, Raiders and Cowboys in Round 2, teams that have needs at the position. Organizations are more careful with their draft capital than they were at the time of the Ingram trade — I’m not sure any current GM would make that sort of trade for a player at any position, let alone a running back. But this would be a more modern version of this deal and relatively risk-free for the Eagles. In the worst-case scenario, the Broncos win the Super Bowl and the Eagles end up with the No. 32 pick again, while being paid a swap of 45 spots on Day 2 for their patience, thanks to the other part of this trade. And if Denver struggled in 2025, this could end up being a far more lucrative deal for Philadelphia.
NFL Draft Rankings 2025: Interior offensive line - BGN
The Eagles won the Super Bowl for a lot of reasons. It helped that the trinity of Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Mekhi Becton was one of the most formidable offensive interiors in the NFL. Having strong guard and center play has been a hallmark of the Eagles for … over a decade at this point. With Becton now on the Los Angele Chargers, the Eagles will have an open competition for his right guard spot. Tyler Steen and the newly added Kenyon Green will push for snaps, but it’s possible the Eagles draft another player to add to this mix. The funny thing about this guard and center class is that the best prospects played tackle in college. In terms of “true” guard and centers, this class is a bit thinner. But there are still interesting players!
