In the final days leading up to the NFL Draft, one of the most talked about teams has been the Philadelphia Eagles. Chip Kelly has not been shy about making bold moves this offseason, and here are five rumors Eagles fans should know about heading into the 2015 NFL Draft.

Whether the Eagles end up keeping the 20th overall pick is a whole other issue, but much of the speculation regarding Philadelphia and their first-round pick as revolved around Collins. Safety is one of the team's top needs, and a lot of rumors suggest that Collins could be the target if he's available.

Agholor appears to be shooting up draft boards in the final days leading up to the draft, and the Eagles and Agholor seem to have mutual interest. If Philadelphia keeps their first-round pick and doesn't take Landon Collins, there's a good chance they will take a wide receiver. Agholor may not be available in the second round, so if the Eagles covet him as much as the rumors would suggest, he could be the team's first-round pick.

3. Trading For Dion Jordan

Chip Kelly already traded for Kiko Alonso earlier this offseason, and he may have a chance to trade for another former Oregon star during the draft. Miami does not seem pleased with Jordan and may be looking to trade him, and the Eagles could be a good fit as they need for edge rushers.

Both sides are trying to distance themselves from these rumors, but there has been a lot of speculation regarding the Browns and Eagles making a deal. The rumor involves Bradford going to Cleveland as the Eagles are not sold on him long-term. However, there has also been some talk about the Browns wanting to trade Manziel and Kelly possibly seeing him as a good fit for his system.

Until Mariota is drafted by another team, there will be speculation about the Eagles trading up to get him. Obviously, Mariota would be a good fit for Chip Kelly's offense, and Kelly would be comfortable with the offense in Mariota's hands. However, would the Eagles be willing to give up what it's going to take to move into the top five, and can they find a trade partner?
