Eagles prospects identified ahead of 2027 NFL Draft

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 10:37 · Archive

The Philadelphia Eagles could have the seventh overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft if the season ended today, according to PennLive.

PhillyVoice has identified five college prospects who could interest the Eagles in the draft. Among them is Nick Marsh, a wide receiver at Indiana who transferred from Michigan State. Marsh stands 6'3" and weighs 210 pounds. He has recorded 29 catches for 528 yards, averaging 18.2 yards per catch, with six touchdowns this season. PhillyVoice describes him as a physical receiver who is a strong route runner and can gain separation through head and body fakes.

Another prospect is Markel Smith, Indiana's left tackle in his fourth season as a starter. Smith is described as technically sound with good feet and a powerful punch, though lacking imposing size or elite athleticism. Pro Football Focus rated Smith as the fourth-highest graded offensive tackle in the country in 2025, ranking second in pass protection and eleventh in run blocking. PhillyVoice suggests Smith could potentially become the Eagles' Lane Johnson replacement at right tackle, though notes it is early to determine this definitively.
