The 2026 NFL Draft is just over a week away, and the mock draft industry has largely settled into six players that are getting mocked to the Eagles. It is entirely possible that the Eagles do not draft any of them if given the chance, but these are the most mocked, in no order.<\/p>\n
OT Max Iheanachor, Arizona State<\/p>\n
Pros: A very good, physical profile. At 6\u20196\u201d, 321 lbs, and 33 \u215e\u201d arms, he checks pretty much all the boxes that teams want in an OT, though he has, along with two other players, the smallest hands of all the OTs at the Combine at 9.0\u201d. In 19 starts over two seasons (5 in 2024, 14 in 2025) he was never credited with giving up a sack. As we\u2019ll get to, he is quite raw, but he had a strong Senior Bowl and the Eagles are a team that has traditionally valued a good showing in Mobile. He has only ever played right tackle, which for the Eagles is a positive, he\u2019s got enough development in front of him to do, the Eagles won\u2019t have to add adjusting to a new side to his plate.<\/p>\n
Cons: Iheanachor has only played football for five years, immigrating from Nigeria when he was 13 and attending a high school that didn\u2019t have a football program. He is understandably raw, and any team that drafts him should consider 2026 a redshirt season. His footwork can be frenetic, his pad level is a little too high and stiff, he\u2019s still figuring out what to do with his hands, and if he doesn\u2019t get engaged immediately, such as against a stunt, he can get lost. All these issues are correctable and understandable given his lack of experience. If he\u2019s on the board at 23, he might be the highest ceiling player available (that wouldn\u2019t be a reach). He\u2019s probably also going to have the lowest floor.<\/p>\n
The Eagles of course can afford to be patient with him or any other OT. They\u2019ve had success with similar backgrounds: Jordan Mailata never played football at all before being drafted, and Lane Johnson only played OT for three years before being drafted. But new OL coach Chris Kuper has little experience developing players.<\/p>\n
Pros: Earned the starting RT job as a true freshman and never missed a game in four years. He\u2019s one of the few guys on Clemson who didn\u2019t disappoint in 2025.<\/p>\n
Miller checks all the measurables that scouts want, and coaches are going to love him\u2013he broke his wrist in spring practice in 2025 and felt embarrassed about it. Teams don\u2019t draft guys in the 1st round because of character, but whoever takes Miller is going to have a nice off field bonus.<\/p>\n
Miller is a mauler in the run game, and holds his own against the pass rush. He has the highest floor of the trio of OTs featured today. But he might have the lowest ceiling.<\/p>\n
Cons: Miller is good at a lot of things, but he isn\u2019t elite at any of them. In the first round, you\u2019re looking for elite traits and skills to build off of. He plays with heavy feet against the pass, and when tied up with a defender he needs to anchor better. He weighed just 317 lbs at the Combine, a season of NFL strength training should do him good.<\/p>\n
OT Kadyn Proctor, Alabama<\/p>\n
Pros: When you get a chance to show a lineman highlight with the ball in his hands, you show it.. I can watch this all day:<\/p>\n
This is simplistic but being a starter from day one on a top SEC team is a pretty good accomplishment to have. He will be just 20 on draft day.<\/p>\n
A question on Proctor is if he is too big to play OT at a high level. Those concerns are probably overblown. He has shown he can lose weight, \u201cslimming\u201d down to 369 in 2024, to 360 in 2025, and to 352 for the Combine. Getting sub-350 should be achievable. It may not be necessary, as Mike Renner points out<\/a> there have been 10 tackles who weighed 350+ at the Combine and they\u2019re either good players or guys who couldn\u2019t play for reasons other than weight.<\/p>\n However all but one of those 10 players were taller than the 6\u20196\u201d Proctor, with eight of them being 6\u20198\u201d, their frame made it a little easier to carry that weight.<\/p>\n Cons: If Kadyn Proctor is a bust at tackle, it likely won\u2019t be because of his weight, it will be because despite being a three year starter he\u2019s still pretty raw, and he lacks elite traits and athleticism. At 6\u20196\u201d he is certainly not short for an offensive tackle, but his arm length and 10 yard split are bottom quartile, his wingspan is below average, and he has sub-10 inch hands. Losing 30 pounds would make him quicker, but it won\u2019t make him longer. It\u2019s not all underwhelming, his vertical and broad jumps were excellent.<\/p>\n Despite being a three year starter on a top team, he never really lived up to the billing. If he gets his hands on a defender, it\u2019s pretty much over for the defender. But if he can\u2019t it\u2019s pretty much over for Proctor, his feet kind of get stuck in the mud, and he tends to get lost in space in both the pass game and the run.<\/p>\n There are times where Proctor looks like possibly the best OT prospect in this draft, and there are times where he looks like his future in the NFL is at guard.<\/p>\n Pros: Explosive athlete. Only 10 WRs ran a faster 40 in the Combine, only one TE had a better vertical or broad. Teams draft for elite traits and Sadiq has some. He makes full use of his leaping ability by high pointing the ball like a WR.<\/p>\n Cons: Sadiq is a WR who plays TE. As a TE<\/a>, he is 15th percentile in height, 9th in weight, 7th in arm length, 36th in wingspan. But as a WR<\/a> he\u2019s 81st percentile in height, and 72nd in wingspan; but also retains high explosiveness: 85th in the 40, 98th in the vertical, 95th in the broad jump.<\/p>\n While many feel that Sadiq is a good blocker, I just don\u2019t see it. And his frame is going to limit his ceiling as an effective blocker at the NFL level.<\/p>\n Sadiq has only one year as a starter, which won\u2019t scare off teams, but he faded hard late in the season, just 15 catches for 5.4 yards per catch and 0 TDs in his final four games. He was a non-factor in the playoffs with 70 yards in three games.<\/p>\n Evan Engram, who coincidentally was the 23rd overall pick in his draft year, is a good comp for him. Is that a guy you want to spend a 1st round pick on? On the one hand, Engram is a ten year veteran, which is a really good return for a 1st rounder. On the other hand, he\u2019s never had a great season, his most productive season was when he was force fed the ball and was 12th in targets. Or more recently, Harold Fannin, but he was A) a 3rd round pick and B) led a terrible offense in targets.<\/p>\n EDGE Akheem Mesidor, Miami<\/p>\n Pros: Strong production, especially when it mattered. Over the last 8 games of the season he had 9 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss. NFL teams value traits over production, but production isn\u2019t nothing and Mesidor had more sacks, tackles for loss, and forced fumbles than co-star Rueben Bain. He\u2019s quick off the snap and coaches will love his motor. Miami mostly played him as a hand in the ground pass rusher, but when they put him in space as a stand up OLB, he didn\u2019t look out of place. Though he didn\u2019t play a DE\/DT tweener role, he may have the strength to hold it down in the NFL, but he would need to add some weight.<\/p>\n Cons: Older non-elite prospects are just a reality now, but Mesidor is old even by new standards, he turned 25 last week. He\u2019s only four months younger than Nolan Smith, and one month younger than Jalyx Hunt. He was born one day after Jalen Carter.<\/p>\n And he didn\u2019t break out until last year. In his first three seasons at Miami (after two at West Virginia) he had 13.5 sacks in 27 games. In 2025 he had 12.5 sacks in 15 games. Part of that is because he had a significant foot injury in the third game of 2023 that caused him to miss the rest of that season and the spring of 2024. He also had a minor foot injury in 2025 that cost him one game.<\/p>\n
