Philadelphia is scheduled to make eight of the draft’s 257 picks, beginning with the No. 22 selection of the first round.
With locker room leaders Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox retiring this offseason, Philly is in need of some help in the O-line and on defense. They could continue to build around last year’s first-round pick: defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
Here’s everything you need to know before the fun begins:

Eagles’ top three needs
CB, OT, LB. The Eagles have to decide whether to bring back veteran corner James Bradberry, who had a rough 2023. Either way, they need a youth infusion. Darius Slay is 33, Bradberry is 30, and the secondary moved a beat too slow last season.
The Eagles need offensive line depth and have to start putting a succession plan in place for stalwart right tackle Lane Johnson.
Ideally, they’d find someone who can compete for the vacant right guard spot for this season and kick outside once Johnson retires — OT feels like a decent bet for Philly’s first-round pick.
Linebacker was a mess last season, and while the additions of Devin White and Oren Burks provide some hope, they need to continue to invest in the position — something they’ve been reluctant to do recently.
