The Philadelphia Eagles were dominant throughout the 2024 season, culminating with the team winning their second Super Bowl in franchise history. They have already gotten off to a busy start to the offseason as they have extended Saquon Barkley and Zach Baun, while releasing Darius Slay and James Bradberry.

The Associated Press' Rob Maaddi released his mock draft recently, where he predicted that the Eagles will land a replacement for Josh Sweat, who is set to enter unrestricted free agency. The NFL insider shared his prediction that the Eagles would move up to the No. 24 overall pick to select Mike Green.

"With Josh Sweat expected to leave in free agency and Brandon Graham possibly retiring, Green gives the Super Bowl champions a high-energy edge rusher," Maaddi said via APNews.com.

"The Vikings traded most of their picks away last year to move up for J.J. McCarthy so trading down and adding more assets makes sense. Mock trade: Eagles get No. 24 and a fifth-rounder (161) for the No. 32 pick, a fourth-rounder (129), a fifth-rounder (169) and a future fourth," he added.

Green had a breakout season in the final year of his collegiate career. He recorded 84 total tackles, 38 of which were solo tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two passes defended. His addition would give the Eagles yet another pass rushing option on an already dominant defensive line.

"Honestly, that's what it be feeling like over here. I'll say Myles Garrett. I'll say Myles Garrett. Adding him with Jalen Carter [and] Nolan Smith. You know, I don't know what's going to happen with Josh Sweat or Milton [Williams]."

Garrett has been with the Browns throughout his NFL career after being selected No. 1 overall in the 2017 draft.
