With three picks left on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, the Eagles entered the morning at No. 178, No. 197 and No. 244, but that number could change if Howie Roseman keeps moving. The board is built for that kind of fluid day, with Philadelphia weighing best-available options while trade talks could add or subtract picks before the final rounds are done.
One name on that board is Garrett Nussmeier, whose 2024 tape showed a smooth, strong, accurate arm and the poise, toughness and processing skills evaluators want in a quarterback. The question now is what changed in 2025, when he dealt with a nagging abdominal injury and an overall offensive regression that made it hard to separate his own play from the situation around him. That is the kind of answer teams need before they spend a draft pick, and it is why his stock remains tied to the work of scouts and coaches as much as to his arm talent.
There is a Philadelphia angle, too. Doug Nussmeier was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach in 2024, which only adds another layer to the evaluation as the team considers whether tanner mckee is enough behind the depth chart or whether another arm belongs in the room. The Eagles have bigger needs elsewhere, but quarterback is never far from the conversation when draft value starts to slide into the middle rounds.
Elsewhere on the board, South Carolina’s Jalon Kilgore fits the kind of flexibility Philadelphia tends to like. He played nickel but could also project to safety, a useful trait for a defense that seems intent on keeping Cooper DeJean at nickel. If the Eagles are looking for depth without forcing a position change, Kilgore offers a clean fit.
On the offensive line, Penn State’s Drew Shelton stands out for more than his measurements. The Downingtown, Pa. native started 34 games over the past four years and checked in at 6-foot-5 and 313 pounds, giving him the kind of size and experience teams can trust on Day 3. Tight end Colton Bowry also visited the Eagles before the draft and measured 6-foot-5, 314 pounds with 33 3/4-inch arms, which is the sort of frame that always gets a second look.
There is a long list of defenders with something to sell. World saw his draft stock slip after a torn ACL in January, even though Brugler had projected him in the fifth- or sixth-round range before the injury. Florida’s Moore brings a different issue to the table: an extensive injury history, but also production, with two interceptions in 2025 after starting in double-digit games. At 6-3 and 198 pounds, he did not commit a penalty in his final two seasons, a detail that speaks to how cleanly he played when available.
Curry is one of the more productive names left. In his only year as a starter in 2025, he posted 11 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss while measuring 6-3 and 257 pounds. That kind of pass-rush output is hard to ignore this late, especially for a team that knows how much value one strong rotational season can carry.
The receiving options are deeper than usual, but not all are built the same. Burks averaged 10.9 yards per reception in 2025 and 19.9 yards as a kickoff returner in 2022, offering both a role and some special teams value. Bell, meanwhile, was one of only two FBS receivers in 2025 with 800-plus yards after catch alongside Miami’s Malachi Toney. He led the FBS with seven games of at least 100 receiving yards, measured 6 feet and 192 pounds, and finished his career with 24 drops and 24 touchdown catches.
The Eagles do not need help on the running back depth chart, so this Day 3 board is about fit as much as talent. That is what makes the final rounds so unpredictable: the names are still there, the needs are still clear, and Roseman still has room to reshape the rest of the draft before the clock runs out.
