With 2018 NFL free agency under way and the 2018 NFL Draft just around the corner, this Philadelphia Eagles mock draft looks to ensure another Super Bowl run.

The Philadelphia Eagles have been rather busy this offseason. Between a couple of key acquisitions and retention of their own top talent, it’s looking like the reigning NFL champions are going to pick up right where they left off back in February.

However, with almost no cap space remaining, the Eagles’ focus will soon shift to the 2018 NFL Draft. We already know this roster is capable of another Super Bowl run, but a few well-spent picks could heighten their chances of repeating. In hopes of shedding some light on possible uses of said picks, I’ve pieced together a new seven-round mock draft for Philadelphia.

I took a couple of factors into consideration here. First, the Eagles’ updated needs were among the top priorities, although there aren’t many at this point. Second, I wanted to make sure the draft stock and placement were correct — I did my best to “draft” players in spots they could actually be available.

I’m glad we got that all cleared up. These seven-round mock drafts can be a slog at times, but this one paints a vivid picture of the Eagles’ remaining needs, the stocks of players mentioned, and the overall plan for what’s to come during the final stretch of the offseason.

Now that we’ve set the stage, let’s take a look at my Eagles seven-round mock draft with about a month and a week to go before the 2018 NFL Draft. It may seem like there’s plenty of time before April 26 arrives, but it’ll be here before you know it.
