25. Philadelphia Eagles (via Miami Dolphins): Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State
Before the draft started, the Philadelphia Eagles dropped down from No. 6 to No. 12 in a trade with the Miami Dolphins. They then traded with the Dallas Cowboys to move back up slightly, this time landing at No. 10 where they took DeVonta Smith.
Earlier in this mock, the Eagles took Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler. Now, they go after someone who can get after the quarterback in Zach Harrison from Ohio State. He has 5.5 sacks in 17 career games but has shown progress and should only get better going forward. If he does, he should be a first-round pick and future NFL starter.

26. New York Jets (via Seattle Seahawks): Bubba Bolden, S, Miami
The New York Jets traded Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks and ended up with two first-round picks. The second of which comes here as they replace Adams with Miami strong safety Bubba Bolden.
Right now, the Jets are working on locking up Marcus Maye and with the way they’ve been operating as of late, there’s no reason to think they won’t get it done. Pairing Maye and Bolden would once again make their starting safeties one of the best duos in the NFL.
Bolden is a turnover machine, evidenced by his four forced fumbles last year for the Hurricanes. Robert Saleh will be thrilled to be able to unleash him in their secondary.
