Top NEWS: Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 NFL Mock Draft sees them selecting JC Latham at No. 22 and adding a skilled TCU cornerback in a comprehensive seven-round simulation.

The Philadelphia Eagles aim to rebound from their disappointing 2023 season through the NFL Draft, seeking to recapture the success of 2022. After finishing the regular season 11-6, they suffered a lopsided defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Wild Card rematch. The team’s offensive statistics included 433 points scored, averaging 354.4 yards per game, with 4,067 passing yards and 2,190 rushing yards. They performed well at home with a 6-2 record but struggled on the road, finishing 5-5 including the postseason.

In preparation for the upcoming season, the Eagles are eyeing offensive tackles, cornerbacks, wide receivers, running backs, and centers. With nine draft picks at their disposal, the team is focused on fortifying its roster without engaging in trades for this mock draft.

The Eagles prioritize strengthening their offensive line and secondary with their selections on Day 1 and Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft. At No. 22, they select JC Latham, a 6’6, 360-pound tackle from Alabama Crimson Tide, who could serve as insurance with Lane Johnson potentially considering retirement after his 12th season. Latham’s impressive coordination and elite-level play strength make him a promising addition to the team.

With the 50th pick, the Eagles choose Josh Newton, a cornerback from TCU Horned Frogs. Newton, who earned Second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2023, began his collegiate career at Louisiana-Monroe before transferring to TCU for his senior year. Over five years, he amassed 152 total tackles and 7 interceptions, showcasing his aggressive style particularly in press coverage, which addresses a defensive need for the Eagles.
