The 2026 NFL Draft is less than three weeks away! Here’s a look at how it could play out for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Simulation run using the Pro Football Focus Mock Draft Simulation. No trades made.
Pick 1.23: Dillon Thieneman, Safety, Oregon
A new name for the Eagles in the first round. The Eagles’ outlook at safety right now is … bleak, at best. The hope is Drew Mukuba can come back at full strength, but they still have a huge hole next to him. Dillon Thieneman has been elite his whole college career and could thrive at either safety spot. Slam dunk pick.

Pick 2.54: Eli Stowers, Tight End, Vanderbilt
Get this offense more weapons. I’ll pound the table for this pick myself.
Pick 3.68: Skylar Bell, Wide Receiver, UConn
Skylar Bell in the mid rounds is very exciting. Bell is athletic and was held back by a an offense that mostly wanted to use him as an extension of the running game. He could be a valuable role player in year one and step up to being a full time starter in 2027.
Pick 3.98: LT Overton, Edge Defender, Alabama
LT Overton isn’t flashy, but he could bring a solid presence to the Eagles line. He can play edge or kick inside in nickel packages. He is an intriguing player in the third round.

Pick 4.122: Brian Parker II, Offensive Tackle, Duke
The Eagles love taking late-round swings at offensive tackle and here’s their pick for this class. Parker is an athletic, smart, experienced player who could develop into a starter as they groom Lane Johnson’s replacement.
Pick 4.137: Kaytron Allen, Running Back, Penn State
The Dameon Pearce signing doesn’t move the needle much as the Eagles look for more running back depth. Allen can develop into a three down difference maker who could find his way into the RB rotation.
Pick 5.153: Jeremiah Wright, Guard, Auburn
It’s important for the Eagles to deepen their interior offensive line. Landon Dickerson’s injury history is a concern and the Eagles could afford to upgrade right guard.

Pick 5.178: Pat Coogan, Center, Indiana
Speaking of interior line depth, is Cam Jurgens definitely going to be back to form next year? The Eagles get a great insurance plan here in a player who is bound to be under-drafted.
Pick 6.215: Domani Jackson, Cornerback, Alabama
The Eagles’ short-term need at cornerback is far less desperate now after the Riq Woolen signing. Domani Jackson has great size and athleticism, he could be a special teams contributor and project to eventually develop into a starter, maybe.
