The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2025 season firmly in their winning epoch, fresh off a decisive Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs that signaled a reshuffling of the league's elite. Their approach this offseason was about stability more than splash. The Eagles extended key veterans Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, and Lane Johnson, moves that reflect a commitment to retaining core pieces of the best team in franchise history to maximize the Super Bowl window.
Continuity also defines the coaching staff, though not without some reshuffling. With former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore departing for the New Orleans Saints head coach position—the second time in five years that Sirianni has seen his OC hired away—quarterbacks coach Kevin Patullo was promoted from within. On defense, Vic Fangio remains, whose unit led the league in total defense in 2024 and was central to the team’s postseason success. Fangio’s return provides a rare sense of carryover on that side of the ball, but there will still be notable personnel changes.
The defensive front and secondary were both affected by cap-related departures. Milton Williams and Josh Sweat signed elsewhere after solid seasons in rotational and starting roles, respectively. In the secondary, Philadelphia lost both C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Isaiah Rodgers, leaving holes at safety and cornerback that will need to be addressed either through the draft or younger players already on the roster.
The Eagles return most of their offensive starters, save for Mekhi Becton and potentially Dallas Goedert. Heading into the draft, replenishing depth across the offensive line, defensive line, and secondary will most likely be focal points.
“Red Star” Players
The NFL draft is where "red flags" and "blue chips" dominate the conversation, but the Philadelphia Eagles have quietly built something different — a system that searches for the soul of a player, not just their abilities between the lines. They call it the "red star" designation, and it's become the backbone of how the franchise identifies players who truly belong in midnight green.
The Eagles’ “red star” philosophy surfaced after the 2023 NFL Draft when Howie Roseman selected Illinois safety Sydney Brown with the 66th pick in 2023 and commented on it afterward.
“Sydney Brown was a passion player for a lot of people in this organization, he was a red star guy, and I think just a tremendous person with obviously really good athletic tools, leadership ability, and for us, just excited to get him in the building,” Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said.
“That's a guy who kind of exemplifies what it means to be an Eagle, so it's great character, captain, testing numbers, intelligence, plays the way it should be played, practices the way it should be played,” Roseman explained.
Last year, the Eagles drafted five “red star” players, but only three of them have been publicized: Will Shipley, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and Trevor Keegan were revealed.
30 Visits
As part of the pre-draft process, NFL teams are permitted to bring up to 30 prospects to their facility for official visits, known as “30 visits.” These are typically used to gather additional medical information, conduct in-depth interviews, and better assess a player’s fit within the team’s culture and scheme. While not every visit translates to draft-day interest, they often offer insight into a team’s priorities and potential targets.
Under Roseman, the Eagles have a history of making their intentions relatively transparent through these visits. In 2023, three of the seven players (Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Kelee Ringo) drafted had been among their 30 visits — a notable trend that continued in 2024. Five of nine players selected last year (Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Jalyx Hunt, Ainias Smith, and Johnny Wilson) were brought in on a 30-visit. These visits have become one of the clearer tea leaves to read in the lead-up to Philadelphia’s draft.
The Eagles often use these visits not only to evaluate projected early-round picks but also to dig deeper on mid- and late-round prospects they believe could outperform their draft slot. The consistency of that pattern suggests that when a prospect comes through the NovaCare Complex in March or April, there’s a legitimate chance he’ll hear his name called by Philadelphia later that month.
Here is a list of the Eagles’ 30 visits:
Georgia S Malaki Starks

Seven-round Eagles mock draft
Round 1, Pick 32: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
I firmly believe the Eagles will not be picking here — whether they move up or down, I have yet to decide. So, for the integrity of the rest of the seven-round mock, they stay at 32.
Ezeiruaku, 21 years old, is someone I believe Fangio will pound the table for. He's a technician with a nasty streak, showing off pass rush moves that make offensive tackles look silly. When you watch his tape, you see a guy who just refuses to be blocked for 60 minutes.
At 6-foot-2 and 247 pounds, he's not the biggest edge rusher in the class, but makes up for it with his length (34-inch arms) and natural leverage. He plays with good technique against the run, though he'll need to continue adding strength for the NFL level.
Ezeiruaku wins with technique, using calculated footwork and a variety of hand moves to defeat blockers. He turns the corner well and shows the ability to convert speed to power when needed. There's a maturity to his game that should translate well to the next level.
Round 2, Pick 64: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
Roseman loves to pluck players who stood out on top defenses. That’s the case here with Sanders.
Sanders didn’t take the traditional path, but he made the most of his time at South Carolina. A late arrival to the game, he found his footing across four seasons in a crowded, talented defensive line room, lining up just about everywhere and flashing more each year.
He’s long, springy, and shows real juice off the snap. There’s a rawness to his game, sure, but he’s got the kind of frame and flexibility that coaches love to mold. He can shoot gaps, hold up at the point, and string together moments that make you pause the tape.
TRADE! Eagles send #90, #161, and #165 to Arizona for #78
Round 3, Pick 78: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
This is a direct result of the hiring of Scot Loeffler, who was Fannin’s head coach just five months ago. Assumably, the reason a 30 visit wasn’t used on Fannin was because they already had enough information with Loeffler now in the building.
Fannin, 20 years old, is coming off a historic season, shattering the record for most receptions and receiving yards by a tight end (117 catches, 1,555 yards). He’s undersized, but he holds his own as a blocker. Questions regarding his gait have arisen throughout the draft process. He runs unorthodox, duck-footed-like. But those issues didn’t seem to stop him from shredding Penn State’s and Texas A&M’s pass defenses.
Round 4, Pick 134: Jackson Slater, IOL, Sacramento State
Slater represents the Eagles' typical mid-round approach to offensive line depth. At 6-foot-4 and 316 pounds, he brings positional versatility, having played both guard and center for the Hornets.
Coming from the FCS level, Slater dominated with a mean streak and advanced hand placement that belies his small-school background.
While he'll need time to adjust to NFL competition, his Senior Bowl performance against Power Five talent suggests the learning curve won't be steep, not to mention he’ll be attending Stoutland U.
TRADE! Eagles send TE Dallas Goedert to the Indianapolis Colts for pick 151.
Round 5, Pick 151: Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma
The trade of Goedert signals a philosophical shift, and the selection of Bowman speaks to the Eagles' desire to reinforce their secondary. At 5-foot-10 and 186 pounds, Bowman isn't the biggest safety, but he compensates with exceptional instincts and ball skills.
A three-year starter for the Sooners, Bowman recorded eight interceptions in his final season, including two returned for touchdowns. His twitch and change-of-direction ability allow him to excel in coverage, particularly against slot receivers. Though he can get overwhelmed by larger tight ends, Bowman is a willing tackler who takes smart angles to the ball.
Fangio will like Bowman's versatility — he can play traditional free safety, nickel corner, or even rotate down into the box on certain packages. With the departures in the secondary, Bowman should compete for significant playing time immediately on both defense and special teams.
Round 5, Pick 164: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Edge, Georgia
There's that Georgia connection again. Ingram-Dawkins continues Philadelphia's affinity for SEC defensive linemen, especially those battle-tested in the nation's premier conference. At 6-foot-5 and 276 pounds, he brings scheme versatility with the frame to play both edge and kick inside on passing downs.
Ingram-Dawkins never put up gaudy production for the Bulldogs (4.5 sacks in his final season), but that undersells his impact. He consistently created pressure and disruption while working within Georgia's rotational system. His first step is explosive, and he plays with natural leverage that allows him to split double teams.
Round 5, Pick 168: Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech
Even with Barkley's extension, Roseman continues his pattern of adding backfield depth late in drafts. Tuten, a transfer from North Carolina A&T to Virginia Tech, brings elite speed (4.32 40-yard dash) and receiving ability to the Eagles' running back room.
At 5-foot-10 and 201 pounds, Tuten isn't built for between-the-tackles pounding, but that's not what Philadelphia is seeking here. His experience as a kick returner gives him immediate special-teams value, while his receiving skills make him an intriguing third-down option.
