2024 Eagles mock draft roundup 4.0: A couple trades in post-Combine edition originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The NFL Combine was last week so it’s a chance to see if the week in Indianapolis did anything to change the mock drafts.
Here’s a look at the latest projects for the Eagles at No. 22:

Trade up to 17: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
What they said: Projected trade: Eagles send No. 22, No. 97 and a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Jaguars for No. 17
Another perfect match in terms of need and fit, the Eagles move up here to nab Arnold. Head coach Nick Sirianni talks about his players competing with a “dog mentality,” and that might be the No. 1 trait that sticks out in Arnold’s game. He dominated during DB drills at the combine.
My take on the pick: A trade! This feels like Howie Roseman’s M.O., doesn’t it? In this case, Roseman jumps up to take the second cornerback off the board following Quinyon Mitchell to the Raiders at No. 13. Arnold is considered by many to be the top cornerback of this draft class so if he’s sitting there a few picks away from the Eagles, it’s not crazy to think about them making a jump up. Arnold’s 4.5 in the 40-yard dash won’t stand out like some of the crazy times we saw last week but he overall had a really good showing in Indy. I was there when he took the podium Thursday morning and he commanded the room. A very confident young man who looked the part in the field drills.

Trade down to 28: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
What they said: Projected trade with Bills
Mitchell didn’t play a ton of college football, and he’s still very raw as a route-runner, but his blazing 40-yard-dash time at the combine (4.34 seconds), along with his game tape from the Longhorns’ win over Alabama, will move him into this spot — or earlier in the draft.
My take on the pick: We didn’t get terms for that trade but Roseman has shown that he’ll trade up or down depending on where he…
