With the start of the 2026 NFL draft fast approaching, starting on Thursday, April 24th, there is one team that is more excited about improving its draft stock than the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles head into the draft with some draft picks that can help improve this team to hopefully become more than just playoff contenders, but Super Bowl contenders once again.
After a disappointing 2025 season that concluded with a first-round playoff exit. General Manager Howie Roseman is looking to rebuild the roster to create a unique playing style that will stand out as a force to be reckoned with in the regular season and postseason. In the final edition of the mock draft, there are now nine projected picks, including compensatory selections. The Eagles have the resources to address needs in the trenches, importantly at Wide Receiver, 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 13 (Via LA Rams) Jordyn Tyson WR Arizona State
With the Eagles’ first selection in the draft by selecting Jordyn Tyson, I believe that they will be making a strong statement at WR and giving another weapon for Jalen Hurts to throw to by trading up to Pick 13 and finding A.J. Brown‘s replacement, along with the discussions of him not being on the team anymore. What Tyson brings to the table is a smooth, explosive receiver with strong route-running, as shown in the reel below, who also has instinct and the ability to separate at all three levels of the field. This wide receiver is dangerous after the catch, showing quick acceleration and vision in open space. His body control along the sideline makes him a reliable deep-ball target, while his versatility allows him to line up inside or outside. For the Eagles, this pick adds another dimension to the passing attack—someone who can stretch defenses vertically while also contributing on quick-hitting plays. He could step in early as a WR2/WR3 with high-end upside.
Pick 31 (Via New England Patriots) Zion Young EDGE Missouri
With the Eagles’ second pick in the draft, I believe that this is where the Eagles can set themselves up for success in the draft. In this projected trade, the Eagles will trade AJ Brown, along with their second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick, to the Patriots in exchange for a first-round pick and a third-round pick. In one of two picks here at the tail end of the first round, the Eagles will now set their priorities by getting a good defensive player at the defensive end position by the name of Zion Young from Missouri.
What young can bring to the team is a combination of burst, bend, and power that makes him an intriguing edge prospect. In the combine, he can demonstrate the ability to win with speed against different offensive schemes with the developmental arsenal of pass-rush moves. Against the run, he plays with good leverage and discipline, setting a strong edge. In Philadelphia’s system, he would likely rotate early in his career while developing into a full-time starter alongside Moro Ojomo and Ty Robinson. The one improvement he can make is his pressure production with due time, given years of experience in the NFL and the Eagles’ emphasis on maintaining a dominant defensive front.
Pick 68 Treydan Stukes Safety Arizona
With the Eagles’ third pick in the draft at the start of the second round, they will look to find a good safety at this pick. With the departure of Reed Blankinship, they are looking for a safety who can bring the aggressiveness to the lockdown defense, with Treydan Stukes bringing that energy at any level of the game. What Stukes can bring to the table is the physical traits of being a 6-foot, 190-pound safety who is able to thrive in both coverage and run support. He reads the quarterback well and has the range to play deep zones, but he’s also comfortable stepping into the box to make tackles. His versatility allows him to fit in multiple defensive looks, including nickel packages. While he may need refinement with his footwork in different types of coverages on defense, which will help him break better in a downhill pursuit against elite talent. His football IQ and tackling ability give him a high floor, and I see him as a key rotational defensive back early, with starter potential.
Pick 95 (Trade From Patriots) Michael Trigg, TE, Baylor
With the Eagles’ fourth pick, it’s the last pick for the patriots trade here at the tail end of the third round in the 2026 NFL Draft. At this pick, their focus here now, I think, should be the tight end position. With the uncertainty around Dallas Godert‘s future on the team, they will look to draft another reliable option at this position to add another weapon to the offense alongside Michael Trigg. With drafting Trigg, he has elite pass-catching skills that stand out from other tight ends. He creates mismatches against linebackers and safeties thanks to his size and fluid movement skills. His catch radius and ability to win contested balls make him a reliable red-zone option. While his blocking is still developing, his effort and frame suggest he can improve in that area. In the Eagles’ offense, he could be used creatively in two-tight-end sets, providing flexibility and another weapon in the middle of the field.
Pick 98 Davison Igbinosun CB Ohio State
With the next pick in the draft, the Eagles can look into the future at the cornerback position on the defensive side of things, and the one CB that stands out to me mostly in the draft is Davison Igbinosun. Ohio State has been known to develop talent on both offense and defense, but on defense, he brings the physical presence to lock down at the cornerback position. What he can bring to the Eagles is that he excels in press coverage against opposing offenses. He uses his size and strength to disrupt receivers at the line of scrimmage and shows good ball skills when the play is in front of him. His competitiveness stands out, especially in contested situations. He can occasionally be grabby, which leads to penalties, but that’s a coachable issue. Another issue is that it struggles to recover quickly from coverage busts, which can be improved with good coaching. For Philadelphia, he fits the mold of a developmental outside corner who can eventually take on a starting role while contributing in sub-packages early.
Pick 114 Jalen Farmer OT Kentucky
With the Eagles’ next pick, they should hopefully also try to focus on improving the offensive line to help protect the quarterback in key situations during the game, and one of the Offensive Tackles that can bring that energy is Jalen Farmer. What he can bring to the table is shire power on the o-line, and a strong base and solid anchor in pass protection. He shows good hand placement and the ability to control defenders once engaged. In the run game, he plays with physicality and can move defenders off the ball. His footwork and lateral quickness may need refinement to handle elite speed rushers, but he has the traits to develop into a dependable lineman. With the Eagles, he would likely be groomed as a swing tackle with the potential to grow into a starting role.
Pick 137 Trey Zuhn III OT Texas A&M
With the Eagles’ next pick here in the later rounds of the draft, they should focus on a developing player who can hopefully get a start later in the season, again focusing on the o-line, selecting Trey Zuhn III. What he can bring to the table is experience and versatility, having faced high-level competition in the SEC, which has led to success in the NFL. He’s technically sound with good awareness and the ability to adjust to different pass-rush looks. While he may not have elite athletic traits, his consistency and understanding of the position make him a valuable depth piece. He could compete for a backup role immediately and provide insurance across multiple spots on the line. With this player, I think he will help the team when they need him the most with the right coaching and development.
Pick 178 Tyreak Sapp DE Florida
The next selection that the Eagles will make here is a developmental defensive end, Tyreak Sapp from Florida. What the Eagles can get from this strong defensive line is high effort, strong motor, and his physical style of play. The positives with this player in the draft are that he’s effective against the run, along with strength in holding the edge and shedding blockers. As a pass rusher, there are a lot of developmental upsides in some of the technical aspects of the game. However, he flashes power and the ability to collapse the pocket. His versatility allows him to line up in multiple spots along the defensive line. In Philadelphia’s rotation-heavy system, he could contribute early as a depth piece while refining his pass-rush skills.
Pick 197 Jalon Daniels QB Kansas
With the last pick for these Eagles in this year’s draft, they will try to build the future by trying to add more depth to the quarterback room with Jalon Daniels from Kansas. What he can bring to the table is his mobility and playmaking ability outside the pocket. He thrives in improvisational situations, extending plays and creating opportunities downfield almost exactly like Jalen Hurts. His arm strength is solid, and he’s shown flashes of accuracy, though consistency can be an issue. His arm strength is solid, and he’s shown flashes of accuracy, though consistency can be an issue. Durability has also been a concern. As a late-round pick, he offers intriguing upside as a developmental backup who could fit into packages that utilize his mobility while he refines his overall game.
