The Story in 60 Seconds

PhillyVoice writer Jimmy Kempski analyzes potential 2027 NFL Draft targets for the Philadelphia Eagles if the team lands a top-five selection. Kempski argues that despite offensive line needs, the lack of elite top-10 tackles means the Eagles should target Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith, Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons, or South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart.

Kempski also notes that Philadelphia may explore quarterbacks due to Jalen Hurts being sidelined with blood clots in his lungs and uncertainty surrounding head coach Nick Sirianni. Potential early quarterback targets highlighted by Kempski include Oklahoma's Drew Mestemaker, Miami's Darian Mensah, and Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss.
