During the college football season each year, as long as you're watching the games, we point out five players each week to keep an eye on who make logical sense for the Philadelphia Eagles in the following year's NFL Draft.
Wright has made big plays all season for Ole Miss, with 16 receptions for 359 yards and 3 TDs. He has receptions of at least 25 yards in each of his last four games, and an SEC-leading 22.4 yards per catch, as a tight end. Big man can move:
Wright has versatility, as Lane Kiffin lines him up all over the formation. The consensus is that Wright has some work to do as a blocker, but he has the size and athleticism to grow into a better blocker at the next level.
Bailey originally enrolled at Stanford, where he was initially something of an EDGE/LB hybrid before mostly playing on the edge in 2024. He finished with 7 sacks and 5 forced fumbles for Stanford last season.
In 2025, Bailey transferred to Texas Tech, where he has had a monster start to his season, as he is leading the country with 8.5 sacks, to go along with 2 forced fumbles. Here are his highlights from his final season at Stanford. Speed guy:
Bailey will appeal to the Eagles, since he is primarily a pass rusher but also has experience at off-ball linebacker and should be comfortable doing a lot of the things Vic Fangio asks of his edge defenders, like dropping into coverage. He also gets the ball out, which is a major emphasis for this coaching staff.
The Eagles' need for more depth on the edge should be pretty obvious right now.
Laloulu has experience playing at both guard spots and at center.
| Year | LG | C | RG |
| 2025 | 0 | 292 | 0 |
| 2024 | 0 | 854 | 110 |
| 2023 | 116 | 111 | 183 |
He embarrassed Penn State interior defensive linemen all day a few weeks ago:
Laloulu is shorter than is ideal, but he has obvious power and would be an asset in the run game.
The Eagles draft a lot of college centers who have also played other positions. See: Drew Kendall, Dylan McMahon, Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Isaac Seumalo. Brett Toth is currently the first guy off the bench at LG and C, so the Eagles could certainly use an upgrade there.
Colton Hood is the nephew of former Eagles CB Roderick Hood. He originally enrolled at Auburn, where his uncle went, before transferring to Colorado, and then again to Tennessee. He's had a great start to the 2025 season, with a pick-six and an SEC-leading 6 pass breakups. Here's a cutup of the Volunteers' corners against Syracuse (via @NoFlagsFilm). Hood is sticky.
Also, I like his confidence.
The Eagles need a CB2 to join Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
Brazzell has great size at 6'5, but he's not clunky like a lot of other tall receivers. He's quick off the line of scrimmage, he runs smooth routes, and he has good ball tracking skills. And obviously, he can make plays above the rim, so to speak.
So far in 2025, Brazzell has 32 catches for 536 yards (16.8 YPC) and 7 TDs.
The Eagles have tried a bunch of extra tall receivers, most recently Johnny Wilson, but they haven't yet spent significant resources on one, and haven't really hit on any yet.
