We are seven days away from the NFL draft kicking off, and the Eagles have completed their top 30 visits. The organization will now huddle up in the NovaCare Complex and prepare the ultimate draft board, including pass rushers, defensive tackles, and interior offensive linemen.

Tennessee will be on the clock one week from tonight, and Philadelphia fans will wait almost three hours before the Super Bowl champions make their pick.

Talented beat writers and NFL experts from across USA TODAY Sports released their latest mock draft, and the Eagles land Boston College pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku.

Howie Roseman was no doubt pulling out his hair waiting for this pick to finally arrive. And as much as Roseman would have loved to trade up, he’ll be very happy getting an edge rusher with 16.5 sacks last season. Ezeiruaku, who goes from the B.C. Eagles to the Philadelphia Eagles, can fit in nicely in the edge rusher rotation. – Martin Frank, Delaware Online

The Eagles have to replace edge rusher Josh Sweat, who signed with the Cardinals after getting 2.5 sacks in Super Bowl LIX. Ezeiruaku is a bit undersized (6-3, 248 pounds) but uses his 34-inch arms and elite first-step speed to get around the edge and under the hands of offensive tackles. He was highly productive this past season, with 80 tackles and 16.5 sacks, the second-best mark in the FBS.
