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.
Sellers was previously thought of as a slam dunk first-round pick, because he has outstanding physical traits. He has a strong arm, great size, and is a weapon on the ground with his legs. His highlight reel is awesome:
Is he Josh Allen? Is he Cam Newton? Or is he Justin Fields? 🤷♂️
There are three quarterbacks almost universally rated higher than Sellers in Oregon's Dante Moore, Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, and Alabama's Ty Simpson. Some draftniks still have Sellers as a first-round pick. Some have him as a second-round guy. Some have him even lower. Quarterbacks do fall. It happens every year.
Whether Tanner McKee plays for the Eagles in 2026 or he's traded and starts elsewhere, the Eagles are going to need to start developing another young quarterback to back up Jalen Hurts.
If Sellers lasts to the end of the second round, I can certainly see the Eagles being tempted to take him. I mean, the Eagles drafted Hurts in the second round to be a backup to Carson Wentz, so there's precedent for that kind of pick.
Cisse showed up as the No. 25 prospect on Dane Brugler's latest top 50 list, with the following blurb:
One of the biggest “stock-up” prospects this season, Cisse is a springy, fast athlete with the cover skills to stay attached to wide receivers, up and down the field.
The South Carolina coaches say it didn’t take long for the NC State transfer to compete for the title of “fastest player in the program."
Howie Roseman has demonstrated a clear preference for corners with speed, and Cisse certainly has that. From Cisse's own Twitter account:
On the downside, Cisse has just 2 career INTs and 9 career PBUs. But certainly, the Eagles will be shopping for corners in the draft.
When you see 6'6, 275, you might think "power rusher," but Rhodes' game is more about quickness and explosiveness. Video via @NoFlagsFilm:
In 2025, Rhodes had 42 tackles (15.5 for loss), 8 sacks, and 1 FF. He only has 9 sacks for his college career, so any team that drafts him — potentially in Round 1, but more likely in Round 2 — will be betting more on his size and athleticism traits than his production.
Last draft season, the Eagles were often linked to Shemar Stewart, who the Bengals selected at 17th overall. Rhodes is in that same category of traits player with (mostly) underwhelming production.
A couple of years ago the Eagles drafted a 6'6 receiver from Florida State in Johnny Wilson. FSU has another 6'6 WR prospect in Robinson, who has had a breakout season in 2025 with 53 catches for 1021 yards (19.3 YPC) and 6 TDs. Entering this week's slate of games, Robinson's 1021 receiving yards are good for 6th in the country.
Robinson has a career 19.2 yards per catch average. He is a classic big, downfield, contested catch receiver with some red zone chops. Video via @NFL_DF:
Robinson is a better receiving prospect than Wilson, in my opinion, and obviously he has the size to contribute as a blocker in the run/screen game against smaller corners. He's probably an early Day 3 guy, if he declares for the draft.
PHLY's Fran Duffy put Prongos on my radar.
He has an oddball background, in that he didn't play football until his senior year in high school (he had played baseball and basketball), and even then he only lasted three games before tearing his ACL. He enrolled at UCLA where he redshirted in 2022, and only played 3 snaps in 2023. In 2024 he cracked the starting lineup under UCLA's O-line coach, Juan Castillo (!).
In 2025, he transferred to Stanford, where he has settled in as a quality offensive tackle prospect, with a whole lot of untapped potential.
Prongos has ideal size at 6'7, 315, with impressive athleticism, and he has played three positions (LT, RT, RG) in college, despite his general inexperience. Sounds like a Day 3 Jeff Stoutland prospect to me.
