This is obviously an imperfect exercise but it\u2019s just a bit of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the results:<\/p>\n<p>Round 1-23: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles find their Lane Johnson replacement in Round 1. While there\u2019s plenty of buzz about Proctor (6-6, 352) going before the Eagles\u2019 pick at 23, this would represent good value for the Birds. Proctor is an enormous offensive tackle who could probably play guard too. His weight is something to watch in the NFL but Proctor has a very high ceiling after already being a three-year starter at Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama: 48.6%<br \/>Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo: 26.6%<br \/>Keldric Faulk, Edge, Auburn: 18.5%<br \/>KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&amp;M: 6.4%<\/p>\n<p>Round 2-54: A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles draft second-round safeties in back-to-back seasons. Haulcy will project as a starter next to 2025 second-round pick Drew Mukuba. Haulcy (6-0, 215) was a starter at LSU for one season after previously playing at New Mexico and Houston. In 2025, he was an All-SEC selection with 3 interceptions, 88 tackles and 4 pass breakups. In his college career, Haulcy had 10 INTs and 19 PBUs.<\/p>\n<p>A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU: 46%<br \/>R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma: 33.3%<br \/>Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama: 14.3%<br \/>Treydan Stukes, CB, Arizona: 6.3%<\/p>\n<p>Round 3-68: Max Klare, TE, Ohio State<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles find their tight end of the future. Klare, 22, was at Ohio State for just one season after transferring from Purdue. He had underwhelming production with 43 catches for 448 yards and 2 touchdowns but there were a lot of mouths to feed in that Buckeyes offense. Klare is a really good athlete with speed and big-play potential. He\u2019s probably never going to be a great blocker but he\u2019s willing and is tough enough to help in that respect. He gives a high ceiling as a weapon in the Eagles\u2019 offense and a plan to replace Dallas Goedert long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Max Klare, TE, Ohio State: 60.3%<br \/>Romello Height, Edge, Texas Tech: 17.8%<br \/>Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson: 11%<br \/>Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia: 11%<\/p>\n<p>Round 3-98: Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame<\/p>\n<p>There are obviously questions about the receiver position in Philadelphia with uncertainty about A.J. Brown\u2019s future. So it won\u2019t be a surprise if the Eagles use one of their four top 100 picks on a receiver. Fields, 22, spent four years at Virginia before playing for Notre Dame in 2025. Fields (6-4, 218) is a big-bodied target with solid production in college. He had over 800 receiving yards his last two years at Virginia and had 36 for 63 (17.5) and 5 touchdowns in his only season with Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p>Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame: 35%<br \/>De\u2019Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss: 30%<br \/>Keyron Crawford, Edge, Auburn: 25%<br \/>Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas: 10%<\/p>\n<p>Round 4-114: Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles don\u2019t have an immediate need at cornerback. In fact, they have one of the best trios in the NFL, but cornerback is always a position where they want to have solid depth and the value with Muhammad (6-0, 182) is strong at pick 114. He was a two-year starter at Texas who had 3 interceptions and 19 pass breakups in his college career. He also ran a 4.42 at the Combine.<\/p>\n<p>Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas: 40%<br \/>Max Llewellyn, Edge, Iowa: 36.7%<br \/>Billy Schrauth, OG, Notre Dame: 23.3%<br \/>Demetrious Crownover, OT, Texas A&amp;M: 0%<\/p>\n<p>Round 4-137: Max Llewellyn, Edge, Iowa<\/p>\n<p>You guys played this one perfectly. Llewellyn was a top choice at pick No. 114 and was still available later in the round at 137. Llewellyn (6-6, 258) had 5 1\/2 sacks in 2024 and followed that up with a 6 1\/2-sack season in 2025. Llewellyn, 23, has good size and is known for his never-ending motor.<\/p>\n<p>Max Llewellyn, Edge, Iowa: 64.3%<br \/>Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College: 21.4%<br \/>Emmett Johnson, RB, Nebraska: 7.1%<br \/>DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson: 7.1%<\/p>\n<p>Round 5-178: Zane Durant, DT, Penn State<\/p>\n<p>While the Eagles don\u2019t really have a need at defensive tackle, it\u2019s a position they care about and using a Day 3 pick isn\u2019t crazy. Durant, 21, isn\u2019t the biggest guy at 6-foot-1, 290 pounds, but that\u2019s not a disqualifier for the Eagles. Durant was at three-year starter at Penn State who had 10 career sacks and 22 tackles for loss. He was also a team captain and considered a hard worker in college.<\/p>\n<p>Zane Durant, DT, Penn State: 51.9%<br \/>Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson: 25.9%<br \/>Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy: 14.8%<br \/>Trey Moore, LB, Texas: 7.4%<\/p>\n<p>Round 6-197: Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas<\/p>\n<p>This was a tie so I literally flipped a coin and ended up with Green. The Eagles are never shy about drafting quarterbacks and they find another one to develop in the sixth round. Green, 23, has traits worth developing. He\u2019s 6-foot-6, 227 pounds, ran a 4.36 and had a 43 1\/2-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 134-inches. That\u2019s crazy athleticism for a quarterback. Green began his career at Boise State and then played his final two years in the SEC at Arkansas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas: 41.7%<br \/>Anez Cooper, OG, Miami: 41.7%<br \/>Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy: 12.5%<br \/>Red Murdock, LB, Buffalo: 4.2%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With less than a week before the start of the 2026 NFL Draft, we decided to have another&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[31803,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-169813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-2026-nfl-draft","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
