Sanders also said both his son and Hunter would be selected “anywhere from one through four” in the 2025 draft, meaning No. 1 overall to No. 4 overall. The Eagles haven’t had a top-four selection in the draft since 2016 and had three straight seasons with a winning record (six of the last seven seasons with a winning record).
