The Eagles have the 32nd overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday. Here are our writers’ predictions on who is most likely to be selected.

1. All of our writers see Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen as a strong possibility who could be someone the Eagles trade up for. But will he be available?
2. The Eagles in recent years have tended to use first-round picks on defensive linemen and could be targeting an edge rusher again given their losses at the position this offseason.
3. The first round could also be where the Eagles draft Lane Johnson’s heir apparent, and there are prospects in range who could fit that mold.
