2025 NFL Draft: 3 things Howie Roseman could have up his sleeve on draft day - PFF
Trade in front of the Los Angeles Chargers for Michigan TE Colston Loveland, then trade veteran TE Dallas Goedert to the Chargers. With Goedert entering the final year of his contract, rumors have swirled that the Eagles may be open to trading the veteran tight end. Losing Goedert would leave a significant void in Philadelphia’s offense, where he’s long been a key piece of the passing game. What better way to fill that void than by drafting a tight end who not only compares favorably to Goedert but would also be playing on a rookie contract — something Philadelphia’s front office will value. Colston Loveland’s 2024 production was impacted by Michigan’s inconsistent quarterback play and injuries that sidelined him for multiple games, but when healthy, he was a focal point of the offense. He averaged 2.67 yards per route run, and his 90.1 PFF receiving grade ranked third among tight ends nationally.
Final Eagles-only 2025 seven-round mock draft - PhillyVoice
Round 5, pick 161: Traded to the Raiders for TE Michael Mayer. Mayer was a Raiders second-round pick (35th overall) who has just 48 catches for 460 yards (9.6 YPC) and 2 TDs in his first two seasons. In 2024, he only had 21 catches for 156 yards (7.4 YPC) and 0 TDs. Part of that was because the Raiders used the 13th overall pick in the 2024 draft to select Brock Bowers, who was instantly one of the best tight ends in the NFL as a rookie, catching 112 passes for 1194 yards and 5 TDs. Mayer is now expendable, and the Eagles will be in need of more help at tight end assuming they go through with moving on from Dallas Goedert after June 1. I watched a little of Mayer, and I like him. He fights for every inch after the catch, and he’s a good blocker. Solid floor. The Eagles need a starting-quality tight end, and the Raiders are willing to trade one. They should talk, in my opinion.

32) LSU TE Mason Taylor. GM Howie Roseman does a tremendous job of drafting players and getting them experience before they are needed as starters. Taylor, a smooth pass catcher, could be next in line.
Mike Mayock’s take on the Eagles’ 2025 NFL Draft options - BGN
“On the flip side, Howie will look at the big picture, if his pool of players gets wiped out, but I like a (interior o-line) Grey Zabel from North Dakota State was there, and I kind of like Aireontae Ersery (OT/Minnesota) more than most people, and on the skill side, Emeka Egbuka (WR/Ohio State) could be there, Luther Burden (WR/Missouri) and tight end Mason Taylor (LSU), who...
