With the No. 207 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft , the Philadelphia Eagles select … Micah Morris, guard, Georgia!
Howie Roseman couldn’t help but add yet another Bulldog to the roster.
Note that the Eagles acquired No. 207 in a trade down from No. 197 with the Los Angeles Rams in order to add two extra picks to this year’s draft class.

Morris, who turns 23 in August, has experience at left guard (14 starts) right guard (five starts). He’s a big blocker (6′ 5″, 334 pounds) with long arms and some good athletic testing numbers.
So, why did he fall this far? The profile is attractive but he clearly didn’t play well enough warrant being drafted higher. The Eagles will try to develop him into a credible option.
Philly doesn’t necessarily have an immediate need for offensive line help with Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Tyler Steen currently projected to start in 2026. But Dickerson and Jurgens have had injury issues that leave their long-term outlooks in question and Steen is a free agent after this upcoming season. The Eagles also lost their top two backup interior options (Brett Toth and Matt Pryor) to free agency earlier this offseason, so, more interior depth was needed.
There’s no guarantee that Morris makes the roster but he’ll get a chance to compete for a spot.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:
Morris has a rare blend of intelligence, power and movement talent, but the profile is a little too uneven. He plays with a sky-high pad level and outside hands. He’s very strong in his upper body and is relatively light on his feet as a move blocker. His broad frame can be tough to get around in protection, but his inconsistent base width could lead to leakage against athletic rushers. Playing at a lighter weight would make him quicker/more efficient and could be the key to making it in the league.
