In this 7-round mock draft, the Philadelphia Eagles address key needs on both sides of the ball, selecting a hard-hitting safety, a developmental offensive tackle, a speedy wide receiver, a versatile edge rusher, an interior offensive lineman, a pass-catching tight end, a strong-armed quarterback, and a physical slot cornerback.

Why it matters

The Eagles have several high-profile free agents this offseason, including safety Reed Blankenship, wide receiver Jahan Dotson, and tight end Dallas Goedert. Howie Roseman will need to reload through the draft to maintain the team's status as a Super Bowl contender in the NFC.

The details

In the first round, the Eagles select safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren from Toledo, a physical presence with good coverage skills who could replace Blankenship. In the second round, they take Clemson tackle Blake Miller to eventually succeed Lane Johnson. Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch provides explosive playmaking ability in the slot in the third round, while Indiana edge rusher Mikail Kamara adds depth to the defensive line. Duke's Brian Parker, a versatile interior offensive lineman, and Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer are fourth-round picks. The Eagles then take a flier on Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the fifth round and Oregon cornerback Jadon Canady to bolster the secondary.

  • The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 24-26.
