Eagles Select QB Kyler Murray, Other Stars in Re-Draft of Active Players

Training camps are still several weeks from opening, so NFL.com decided to do a complete seven-round mock draft that re-imagines the entire active NFL landscape with teams building balanced rosters on both sides of the ball that are designed to win now.

It’s a fun little exercise with some very entertaining results.

Here were his parameters for the active-player re-draft:

Teams are listed based on the first-round order from the 2023 NFL Draft, restoring all traded or forfeited picks to the original holders.

The subsequent rounds go in reverse order to distribute talent evenly among the 32 franchises - that is, the order of Round 1 is reversed in Round 2, which is reversed in Round 3, and so on.

No trades or compensatory selections were included.

NFL.com had 14 Eagles - more than half the team's starters - going to different teams, including two in the first round with quarterback Jalen Hurts going fourth overall to the Indianapolis Colts and A.J. Brown going 26th overall to the New York Giants.

Quarterbacks consumed the first nine picks, with Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen going ahead of Hurts, and Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott going after Philly's QB.
