Here\u2019s what I think they might do with them.<\/p>\n<p>1 (No. 23) &#8211; Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles trading up for an offensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft is a strong bet; they\u2019ve been interested in acquiring a potential Lane Johnson successor for years now. It hasn\u2019t happened in part because there were some drafts where there were runs on offensive linemen before the Eagles picked. Armed with no shortage of picks (plus the potential of more incoming through an eventual A.J. Brown trade), I suspect that Howie Roseman will be aggressive (as is his wont) and try to move up the board for someone like Kadyn Proctor or Monroe Freeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But it takes two to tango and there\u2019s no guarantee that Roseman will find a trade partner. In the event that he has to stay at No. 23, Iheanachor should reasonably be available. The Arizona State blocker ranks No. 33 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideleft.football\/p\/2026-nfl-draft-consensus-big-board\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the 2026 Arif Hasan NFL Draft Consensus Big Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Admittedly, the Eagles could be reaching here. But Iheanachor\u2019s value is driven down in part because there\u2019s question about his ability to play right away in 2026. That aspect shouldn\u2019t matter as much to Roseman, who has more of a long-term focus in mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Iheanachor\u2019s high-ceiling profile is intriguing. Some of the glimpses I saw while watching him were pretty tantalizing. I\u2019d certainly feel more confident about his chances of developing if Jeff Stoutland was still around but his departure doesn\u2019t mean the Birds are merely going to stop trying to groom offensive line prospects.<\/p>\n<p>2 (No. 53) &#8211; Keylan Rutledge, OG, Georgia Tech<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This draft is about Roseman returning to his roots and building through the trenches. The Eagles\u2019 offensive line was uncharacteristically a weakness for the team last year and there are major questions about the viability of Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens moving forward. Not to mention that Tyler Steen is set to be a free agent after 2026. Oh, and the Eagles also lost their top two backup interior offensive line options from last year (Brett Toth and Matt Pryor) in free agency. Rutledge can push for playing time this season.<\/p>\n<p>3 (No. 64) &#8211; Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles are clearly in the market to add an edge rusher. It seems like they might trade for a veteran (Jonathan Greenard, perhaps). But they could still afford to add more depth and youth at this position. Again, this draft is about strengthening the trenches.<\/p>\n<p>3 (No. 98) &#8211; Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles simply must draft a tight end at some point in this draft. They need someone who can feasibly be on the roster beyond 2026. Delp has been getting some Round 2 buzz but that feels high for a player who\u2019s averaged 264.3 yards per season over the last three years. Later on Day 2 is more reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>4 (No. 114) &#8211; Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The QB Factory rolls on. The value is too good here to not add the son of former Eagles QB coach Doug Nussmeier. Tanner McKee will be a free agent after this season and Andy Dalton can be elevated to QB2 with the rookie developing at QB3.<\/p>\n<p>4 (No. 137) &#8211; Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Methinks the Eagles would ideally like to add a receiver with size in this draft and the 6\u20194\u201d, 205 pound Fields has that big frame, which he utilized to make big plays in college (17.5 yards per reception in 2025).<\/p>\n<p>5 (No. 178) &#8211; Sam Roush, TE, Stanford<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I don\u2019t think it\u2019s crazy to suggest the Eagles could double dip at tight end in this draft. Again, they currently have no real long-term options there.<\/p>\n<p>6 (No. 197) &#8211; VJ Payne, S, Kansas State<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Day 3 flier on a position of need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now scroll down to the comments to tell me why you hate it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles are entering the 2026 NFL Draft with eight picks, all within the first six rounds.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[204793,204794,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-602483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-draft","9":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-mock-drafts","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
