The draft is rich with defensive linemen, and there should be a good one left at No. 32 out of a group consisting of Shemar Stewart, James Pearce, Walter Nolen or Donovan Ezeiruaku. But there's also a safety in Georgia's Malaki Starks, who could technically start right away next to Reed Blankenship.

Albert Breer of the Monday Morning Quarterback reports that the Eagles have explored trading back out of the first round, while amassing more picks

Nolen finished with 48 tackles (14 for loss) with 6.5 sacks and 35 pressures in 2024. An excellent run stopper, Nolen would immediately slot into the Eagles' defensive tackle rotation with Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo. He would contribute to the defensive line right away.
