Carter had 12 sacks last season and looked unstoppable despite playing through a shoulder injury down the stretch.Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, GeorgiaWalker, a player who could be the second coming of Zack Baun, had 6.5 sacks in 2024, despite splitting time in the middle of the field at off-ball linebacker. Philadelphia could deploy Walker in a hybrid role since it needs a boost at both linebacker and edge rusher.Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&MStewart has been mocked anywhere from pick No. 9 to late in the first round. In his three seasons at Texas A&M, Stewart recorded 65 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks. He also added four passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, one fumble recovery returned for a touchdown, and two forced fumbles. Stewart brings good size, length, and frame for the position, but needs to be more consistent.Mike Green, Edge, MarshallGreen spent the last two seasons at Marshall after transferring from Virginia following his freshman season. While at Marshall, Green played in 26 games and recorded 127 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, and 21.5 sacks. He also added two passes defensed, one fumble recovery, and four forced fumbles in his two seasons. Last season, as a redshirt sophomore, Green led the FBS in sacks (17.0), tackles for loss (22.5), sack yardage (144), and tackles by a defensive lineman (84).His 17 sacks established a new Sun Belt Conference record.Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&MScourton was one of the highest-rated transfers ahead of the 2024 season due to his combination of size and speed. Standing at 6-4, 280 pounds, he had 10 sacks and 50 tackles in his 2023 season at Purdue and finished his career at Texas A&M with five sacks, a forced fumble, 37 tackles, and two passes defended.Walter Nolen, DT, Ole MissNolen can be a game-wrecker on the interior and is athletic enough to be a viable and versatile pass rusher for the Eagles and Vic Fangio.The 6-foot-3, 305-pound dynamo led the Ole Miss defense in 2024, logging 48 tackles (career-high), two pass deflections (career-high), one fumble recovery, and 6.5 sacks (career-high).Will Johnson, CB, MichiganPhiladelphia drafted a cornerback in Round 1 last spring. After watching Darius Slay, James Bradberry, Isaiah Rodgers, and Avonte Maddox all depart, the Eagles could look to move up if Johnson starts to fall. Johnson has strong ball skills (nine career interceptions, including two pick-sixes in just six games last season) to pair with his great 6-foot-2 size. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn StateWarren would never fall past the top 15, but with Dallas Goedert likely to depart, this would be a dream draft pick. Enter Warren, who had 200+ yards rushing and 700 of his 1,233 receiving yards come after the catch last season.Colston Loveland, TE, MichiganLike Tyler Warren, Loveland would flourish in the Eagles’ offense. At 6-foot-6 and 248 pounds, he is too big for defensive backs to cover, but he’s also faster than most linebackers with his seam-stretching speed and nifty route running.Will Campbell, OL, LSUCampbell is an athletic marvel who can play multiple positions, something the Eagles covet. During Campbell’s 37 games at LSU, he allowed only 45 pressures and only three sacks, with one coming in his first game and one coming in his last game. Campbell was awarded LSU’s coveted No. 7 this year, which is given by the coaching staff each season to the player deemed the team’s best playmaker (because of NCAA rules, Campbell wore No. 66 with a No. 7 patch on his jersey).
