NFL mock draft 2026: final look at who has been linked to the Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles head into the final hours before the 2026 NFL Draft with a wide range of projected outcomes at pick No. 23. Across mock drafts and league intel, several prospects and positions continue to surface as logical fits.
Offensive tackle remains a popular projection, particularly with long-term questions surrounding Lane Johnson, while edge rushers and wide receivers have also been consistently linked to Philadelphia as potential impact additions. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is a huge supporter of trading up and down the draft boards, no matter the round or the assets at his disposal. Roseman, known for never sitting still, has always been an active draft-night trader and will likely make a move or two in rounds 1-3.
Roseman has conducted over 60 draft-day trades over the past ten years, not including the 2015 draft when coach Chip Kelly snatched personnel control. Despite the growing list of predictions, the Eagles are unlikely to lock into any single direction. Roseman has built his draft philosophy around flexibility and value, often capitalizing when top talent unexpectedly falls.
That mindset leaves open the possibility of multiple outcomes — from selecting the best player available to executing a trade up or down the board. As the final projections come into focus, the Eagles remain one of the most unpredictable teams, positioned to adapt and maximize value when they're on the clock at No. 23.
