The Philadelphia Eagles head into the 2026 NFL Draft with additional draft picks that can help improve this team into a Super Bowl contender once again. After a disappointing 2025 season that concluded with a first-round playoff exit. General Manager Howie Roseman has assembled a roster capable of contending. The main question for this team is: Will A.J. Brown stay with the team amid reported tensions? And how will the offense and defense improve during this important offseason? In the second edition of the mock draft, there are now ten projected picks, including compensatory selections. The Eagles have the resources to address needs in the trenches, at tight end, in the secondary, and elsewhere. Here’s my complete six-round mock draft for Philadelphia, focusing on high-upside talents that align with the team’s physical and versatile identity.
Pick 23 Max Iheanachor OT Arizona St
 With the first round pick for the Eagles, they need to improve the offensive line to be able to protect the quarterback at all costs. Max Iheanachor is a massive (6’5″, 325 lbs) and incredibly athletic tackle with 34.5″ arms. A unique story of being a part of football, almost like Jordan Milatia. He didn’t begin playing seriously until junior college. A former basketball player who moved from Nigeria at 13, he is a “toolsy” prospect with a sky-high ceiling but still relatively raw technique that truly caught the attention of the Eagles. What he can bring to the table for the Eagles is his physical traits, and with coaching and time, his ceiling is the potential to be a great Offensive tackle for this playoff-driven team. During the offseason and, hopefully, into training camp, he can improve his raw mechanics, and his inexperience at the position will require patience that, in the end, can create a nasty playing style that will eventually mold him into a cornerstone starter to eventually succeedLane Johnson.
Pick 54 Germie Bernard WR Alabama
For the second selection, the Eagles are looking to improve the wide receiver room, as there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen next. This prospect, however, can help the wide receiver room in a big way. Germie Bernard, out of Alabama, is A physical 6’1″, 205 lb receiver who led Alabama in receiving in 2025.
He is versatile enough to play inside or outside and is noted for his “big-slot” potential and toughness after the catch. He can play with dynamic energy. His YAC burst is a real separator, and he looks like a running back once the ball hits his hands. Bernard thrives on screens, crossers, and backfield touches, showing strong hands on the move and excellent concentration in traffic. This team needs someone who can be the WR3 and win over the middle with great physical presence alongside A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith. Bernard’s experience in high-octane offenses makes him a pro-ready target for Jalen Hurts to grow into a featured weapon.
Pick 68 Max Klare TE Ohio State
This pick is a strong one, offering insurance at the tight end position amid the uncertainty of how much longer Dallas Godert will play. Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 243 pounds, Max Klare is a strong tight end who is built around his effectiveness as a receiver. People can frequently compare him to Zach Ertz. Klare is a smooth, fluid route runner who excels at attacking the middle of the field and finding soft spots in zone coverage. His strong suit is his athletic frame and extended reach, which help him create plays outside his frame. He tracks the ball well, adjusts smoothly in space, and shows better-than-expected quickness for his size. He also reads strong zone coverage, which helps create seams and build matchup problems for defenders. At Ohio State, he finished third on the team in both receptions and receiving yards despite sharing opportunities with standout wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. In a draft class where the tight end group lacks consistency, Claire’s production against strong competition and his upside as a pass-catching threat could make him a compelling option for teams looking to upgrade the position if they decide to add more depth and playmaking ability at tight end.
Pick 98 Zakee Wheatley S Penn State
With this other key trade round pick, the Eagles have obtained. They will make sure to use this pick wisely by selecting Zakee Wheatley, Safety, Penn State. This guy is the definition of ball hawking, with some interesting time at the cornerback position on defense. Wheatley is the true student of the game and brings to the table an
exceptional range and a knack for creating takeaways, forced fumbles, and or interceptions. He tracks the ball well and shows timing when breaking on intermediate routes. In run support, he takes solid angles and tackles with reliability. The Eagles value versatile defensive backs who can play “post” safety or drop into the box. Wheatley’s local ties and his high football IQ align with Vic Fangio’s defensive scheme, which relies on safeties who can disguise coverages. I see him as a rotational safety who can bring starting upside in zone-heavy defenses.
Pick 114 Mikail Kamara Edge Indiana
The pick will be a great pick for the future of the edge position for the Eagles with selecting Mikail Kamara Edge out of Indiana. This player brings a lot of unique traits, namely being a high-motor, relentless pass rusher who produced nearly 200 pressures in his college career. While not a physical freak, his hand usage and “get-off” are advanced, which help him win reps on the outside. His leverage and dip-and-rip pass-rush moves allow him to flatten the arc and disrupt timing at the snap. Against the run, he shows a willingness to anchor and stack blocks, maintaining leverage to squeeze running lanes. The one thing he can improve on during the offseason is adding more size to his current position; relative to some NFL edge prototypes, his relentless motor and ability to convert speed to power make him effective at collapsing pockets. With the Eagles having a rotation built around elite pass rushers, he will fit perfectly into the role, with the potential for true development, and can provide immediate depth on third downs.
Pick 137 Aamil Wagner OT Notre Dame
The Eagles’ next selection in the mock draft is Aamil Wagner, who is an athletic, light-footed tackle (6’6″) who was a team captain at Notre Dame with a long-framed tackle with solid pass-protection fundamentals. He can mirror speed rushers with very precise footwork. In the run game, he sustains contact and works efficiently in zone schemes. His anchor strength can be tested by power rushers. Wagner processes stunts and twists with offensive awareness. As an eagle, he can be a high-pedigree athlete who needs to add weight but possesses footwork that can’t be taught. I believe that can be a developmental tackle with starting upside.
Pick 153 Cole Payton QB North Dakota St
What you can expect from Cole Payton is that he is a dual-threat quarterback from the same program that produced Carson Wentz and Trey Lance. Payton is a powerful runner and a developmental passer with a big arm. His arm strength is adequate but not elite for deep-field throws. Payton must continue refining progression reads under pressure. The Eagles prefer backups who mirror Jalen Hurts‘ skillset so the playbook doesn’t have to change if the starter goes down. With the Eagles picking up Andy Dalton, this pick will hopefully provide a low-cost, high-upside developmental QB3 with rushing ability, and can be developed by the right coaching and good player development.
Pick 178 Hezekiah Masses CB California
The next Eagles selection, I believe, that they will make is Hezekiah Masses, CB out of California. Masses is a strong defensive back with the potential to do more. He is strong in press coverage and shows competitive strengths that the Eagles can rely on. Even though the Eagles signed Rig Woolen i believe that they will work well together on the defensive side of the ball. For the masses, he can be aware of deep zone coverage that allows him to predict throws and close effectively. His length and ball skills make him an ideal developmental outside corner who can contribute immediately on special teams.
Pick 197 Pat Coogan C Indiana
With the second-to-last pick for this Eagles team, they may look to the future at center, drafting Pat Coogan out of Indiana. What he can bring to the table is his intelligence in processing the different plays being developed in the game. He can be effective by recognizing blitzies and stunts with passing off rushers and stunts. The right development in his mobility will help the Eagles become better at the O-line. The Eagles will get out of this pick a smart interior lineman who can handle the mental load of the center position and add depth at both center and guard.
Pick 215 Jeremiah Wright OG Auburn
The last pick in my mock draft, I think the Eagles should consider is taking Jeremiah Wright OG Auburn. This man is a monster on the football field at 6’5″, 331 lbs. He was a former defensive tackle who played with a chip on his shoulder, the aggression of a defensive lineman, a massive 33-inch reach, and a firm anchor. As an OG, he can bring the skills of a defensive end and present more physical strength to help be a good lead blocker when the run game is involved and in short-yardage situations. His lateral agility can be tested by quicker interior defenders. Wright shows strong consistency in the assignments he handles at his position. I believe he can be a starting-caliber guard in an offense the Eagles can hopefully develop during training camp and the preseason.
