THE Eagles are headed to the NFC Championship Game and will face the Washington Commanders for the third time this season. Even with the Birds locked in a playoff race, it’s never too early to consider the 2025 NFL Draft. Philadelphia has a lot of free agents and a big decision needs to be made regarding linebacker Zack Baun. With Wednesday’s practice set to begin, Mel Kiper released his first 2025 NFL Mock Draft for ESPN. Kiper has the Eagles reloading in the trenches.
Kiper ranks the 6-3, 339-pound Grant as the No. 19 overall prospect for the 2025 draft and the No. 4 draft-eligible defensive tackle prospect. A native of Gary, Indiana, Grant formed the nation’s best interior defensive line tandem with Mason Graham, who declared for the draft earlier this month and ranks No. 4 on Kiper’s Big Board.
Grant led Michigan with two fumble recoveries and ranked second on the team with five pass breakups, adding 3.0 sacks, 6.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 quarterback hurries. He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors and third-team AP All-America honors. Grant had four tackles and an assisted tackle for loss in Michigan’s 13–10 upset victory over rival Ohio State on November 30.
