Philadelphia Eagles' 2026 NFL Draft Picks and Needs

Picks: Nos. 23, 54, 68, 98, 114, 137, 178, 197

Top Needs: Edge, OL, TE

The Philadelphia Eagles' top needs may be a bit different if they actually intend to trade A.J. Brown later in the offseason. It wouldn't be surprising to see general manager Howie Roseman taking a flier on a receiver or two later in the draft, though.

However, Philly is likely to focus on its offensive and defensive fronts early in the draft.

The Eagles opted not to re-sign edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips, so an edge prospect such as Texas A&M's Cashius Howell, Missouri's Zion Young, or Central Florida's Malachi Lawrence would be sensible in the first or second round.

Roseman must also prepare for the eventual departure of tackle Lane Johnson and guard Landon Dickerson, who both reportedly considered retirement this offseason.

O-line prospects such as Alabama's Kadyn Proctor, Texas A&M's Chase Bisontis, and Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon should be on Roseman's radar.

The Eagles should also begin planning for life after tight end Dallas Goedert. While they may not target a replacement on opening night, Baylor's Michael Trigg and Notre Dame's Eli Raridon should be viable targets on Day 2.
