After months of waiting, we're hours away from the NFL draft kicking off from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Thursday night with the Raiders set to select Indiana quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, Fernando Mendoza, with the No. 1 pick. Things are uncertain after Mendoza, including experts' knowledge of what Philadelphia has planned at pick No. 23 overall. The Eagles are expected to target an offensive tackle or wide receiver, but don't count out GM Howie Roseman landing a versatile edge rusher.
One player to watch is Auburn pass rusher Keldric Faulk. During a fan event in Pittsburgh, Faulk told the Philadelphia Inquirer's Devin Jackson that he visited the Eagles and praised the organization, highlighting his versatility and noting that he models his game after Cam Jordan.#Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk told me this morning that the #Eagles brought him in for a 30 visit and said the organization has “really good people.” Said he likes to model his game after Cam Jordan and that teams have valued his versatility to play multiple spots on the D-line. pic.twitter.com/bYoEY5olq6— Devin Jackson (@RealD_Jackson) April 22, 2026A dynamic and versatile pass rusher, Faulk ranked eighth in the SEC with 45 total pressures in 2024 according to Pro Football Focus.
