- 10 Eagles who could be impacted the most by the 2025 NFL draft
After winning Super Bowl 59 and suffering massive free agent losses, the Eagles need impact players on both sides of the ball . With eight picks in 2025 and 22+ picks, Howie Roseman will have another opportunity to add depth to a Super Bowl-caliber roster.
Lost in the predraft hype and hoopla every year is the likelihood that several veteran players on the Philadelphia roster will be cut, waived, or traded after Howie Roseman finishes adding draft picks and undrafted free agents.

With the big night fast approaching, here are 10 Eagles who could be impacted the most by Howie Roseman's decision-making over the three-day event.
RB Tyrion Davis-Price
The Eagles spent draft capital on Will Shipley in 2024, and he has the potential to be the backup running back behind Saquon Barkley . After the Eagles added A.J. Dillon on a one-year deal, another running back could make landing a roster spot more difficult for Davis-Price.
WR Jahan Dotson
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders in a trade before the 2024 season. They exchanged a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks for Dotson and a fifth-round pick. Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith . Dotson improved with time and had his most impactful game of the season during the Eagles' win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, with two catches for 42 yards on three targets. The 2022 first-round pick could have an increased role for the 2025 season if Philadelphia moves on from Goedert. A wide receiver drafted early could make things difficult for the former Penn State star.

Dallas Goedert
We're predicting the Eagles land a fourth-round pick for the 30-year-old Goedert, who's counting $11 million against the cap with no guaranteed money remaining. Philadelphia could target a talented tight end in the second or third round of April's draft. It'll be a tough decision after Goedert (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason.
OL Tyler Steen
The Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Texans for C.J. Gardner-Johnson , and while he's a former first-round pick, the former Texas A&M star was the 76th highest-graded guard in the NFL out of 77 candidates, according to PFF.

Former Alabama offensive tackle and third-round pick Tyler Steen was slightly better, landing at 75th with a 40.7 grade from PFF. There will be competition for this spot, and it's a noticeable downgrade currently after Mekhi Becton 's exit. Things could get difficult for both players if the Eagles land a guard.
NT Jordan Davis
Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances.
Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row, but he logged 122 fewer defensive snaps and ceded snaps to second-year defensive lineman Moro Ojomo . Philadelphia targeting Walter Nolen or Darius Alexander could spell doom for Davis.

Moro Ojomo
Ojomo finished the 2024 season with 20 tackles (six solo) in 17 regular-season games. Ojomo saw a significant increase in workload in his second season with the Eagles, playing 370 defensive snaps and 70 snaps on special teams while appearing in all 17 of the team's regular-season games. With Milton Williams departing, Ojomo is expected to be a starter, but a first-round pick could alter that.
Jalyx Hunt
Hunt will get the first shot at replacing Josh Sweat despite Josh Uche getting signed. Hunt finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games. A first or second-round pass rusher could impact that idea.

Kelee Ringo
Hunt will get the first shot at replacing Josh Sweat despite Josh Uche getting signed. Hunt finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games. A first or second-round cornerback could alter that plan.
Sydney Brown
With Gardner-Johnson traded, the former third-round pick gets the first crack at the starting spot. Brown is now a full year removed from tearing his ACL near the end of the 2023 season. He'll battle Tristin McCollum , Andre Sam, and likely a draft pick.
Lewis Cine
Cine was selected by Minnesota 32nd overall in the 2022 draft and joined the Bills ' practice squad after being released by the Vikings last summer. He broke his leg during his rookie season and was limited to playing 10 defensive snaps in 10 games over his two years in Minnesota.

The 24-year-old from Haiti is listed at 6-foot-2 and 199 pounds and is a low-risk signing after a decorated college career at Georgia. Cine earned defensive MVP honors in Georgia's 33-18 win over Alabama in the national championship game in the 2021 season.
