The Eagles have missed badly drafting safeties ever since. Interestingly, the only starter to come out of the NFL draft since 2010 was someone who wasn't even drafted. That was Reed Blankenship, who was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Blankenship started five games as a rookie, then became a full-time starter in 2023.

Rumors that the Philadelphia Eagles are looking to trade veteran tight end Dallas Goedert are heating up just days before next week's 2025 NFL Draft. If that happens, fans can certainly expect the Eagles to select a young and talented tight end sooner rather than later in the draft.
