The Athletic sends Keldric Faulk to the NFC East in latest mock draft
The Athletic has released a new mock NFL draft that places former Auburn EDGE going to a NFC East team.
The Athletic's latest mock draft predicts former Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 23 overall. We are almost a month out from seeing commissioner Roger Goodell take the stage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for round one of the 2026 NFL Draft.
A name expected to be called that night April night is former Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk. Faulk finished his time on the Plains after three seasons of play for the Tigers. In his final year, he totaled 29 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble.
The league office named Faulk to the Third Team All-SEC. The Philadelphia Eagles now look to the draft to replace a productive piece in Jaelan Phillips, who signed with the Carolina Panthers this free agency. General manager Howie Roseman is expected to target offensive tackle, which could change with the miss in free agency of Phillips.
Faulk could bring his pure athleticism and skillset to an Eagles defense that has some strong pieces at the interior with Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. Their level of play could leave Faulk in a good bit of one-on-ones throughout the season. The NFL Draft is set to begin on Thursday, Apr.
