Tankathon’s latest 2027 NFL mock draft has the Philadelphia Eagles selecting Indiana wide receiver Nick Marsh late in the first round, projecting another weapon for Jalen Hurts a year after the franchise traded A.J. Brown.
Marsh is listed at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds. Tankathon ranks him 28th overall and fifth among receivers, with a first-round mock slot at No. 29.
Through two games at Indiana he has four catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns, a 22.0-yard average. He opened the season with a one-handed scoring grab against North Texas, then added a 51-yard touchdown in a 55-0 win over Howard.
Those flashes follow two seasons at Michigan State. Marsh had 41 catches for 649 yards and three scores as a true freshman, a school freshman record. As a sophomore he led the Spartans with 59 receptions, 662 yards and six touchdowns.
Career totals are 104 catches for 1,399 yards and 11 touchdowns in 25 games. He transferred to the defending national champions after Michigan State fired its coach.
“His ability after the catch from a physical standpoint is really impressive,” a Big Ten general manager told ESPN. “He just plays so dang hard. He’s tough to bring down and can make things happen, and he’s got great hands.”
ESPN Research credited Marsh with 36 missed tackles forced on receptions last fall, second nationally. Size, speed and yards after contact are the pitch. Dropped balls and contested-catch consistency are the notes to clean up in Bloomington.
Hurts no longer has Brown. Philadelphia sent the four-time 1,000-yard receiver to New England for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder. DeVonta Smith is the WR1. First-round rookie Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown fill out the room.
Howie Roseman has already restocked once. A late first-round receiver in 2027 would be a second swing at replacing Brown’s downfield presence and contested-catch gravity.
Marsh would give Hurts a different look than Smith’s precision or Lemon’s slot versatility: a 6-3 outside target who can win vertically and finish runs after the catch. Saquon Barkley still tilts defenses. Another perimeter threat would keep them honest.
The Eagles are projected near the bottom of Round 1, not the top 10. Tankathon updates after every game and factors need. Receiver is no longer Philadelphia’s only hole, but it remains a live one until Lemon and the veterans prove they can replace Brown’s production.
Indiana teammate Charlie Becker is the higher-ranked Hoosier receiver on most boards. Marsh is the transfer who produced in a bad offense and has already scored in two blowouts.
If that holds, Hurts will keep hearing Marsh’s name next to the Eagles. The last time Philadelphia added a big, physical receiver for him, it won a Super Bowl. The mock is betting they try again.
