Eagles 2026 7-Round NFL Mock Draft 9.0: Philadelphia Goes All-In

The 2026 NFL Draft is just one week away and teams will work to finalize their draft boards after the window for pre-draft visits closed on April 15th. Now it’s time for Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman to sit down with the front office, scouts and coaches to figure out the team’s plan for next week’s event.

In four of the last five NFL Drafts, the Eagles have traded up in the first round. This year’s draft class is considered relatively top heavy and Roseman could have his eyes on a deal to move up once again. Which prospect could Philadelphia target in a move up? Find out in the ninth version of my 2026 seven-round NFL mock draft for the Eagles!

Trade! Eagles trade a 2026 first-round pick (23rd overall), 2026 second-round pick (54th overall) and a 2026 fourth-round pick (137th overall) to the Rams for a 2026 first-round pick (13th overall).

Round 1, Pick 13: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

The Eagles are once again running it back with a bunch of tight ends on one-year deals in 2026. Philadelphia doesn’t have a long-term solution at the position and Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq could be an absolute game changer. While Sadiq is labeled as a tight end, he has the size, athleticism and versatility to be a top passing target at the next level.

If the Eagles are operating in a world where A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert may not be on the roster in 2027, Sadiq could be an offensive cornerstone alongside DeVonta Smith. In this scenario, Philadelphia leaps ahead of the Baltimore Ravens, who could be targeting Sadiq with the 14th overall pick after watching Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency.

Trade! Eagles trade a 2026 third-round pick (68th overall) to the Jaguars for a 2026 third-round pick (81st overall), 2026 fourth-round pick (124th overall) and a 2026 fifth-round pick (166th overall)

Round 3, Pick 81: De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss

After trading three picks away to move up 10 spots in the first round, Roseman works his magic to recoup a few picks on day two. The Eagles move back 13 spots and pick up two additional picks on day three. Ole Miss wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling reportedly visited the Eagles and it’s easy to see why Philadelphia would be intrigued by his skillset.

At 6’2 1/8” and 207 lbs., Stribling has the size to win on the outside, yet he also turned heads with a 40-yard dash of 4.36 seconds at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. Yet Stribling isn’t just a burner, he’s also one of the best blocking wide receivers in this year’s draft class. If the Eagles trade Brown, Stribling would immediately contribute at wide receiver and fit well in Sean Mannion’s scheme.

Round 3, Pick 98: Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina

After letting former starting safety Reed Blankenship walk in free agency, Philadelphia has yet to find his replacement. While Marcus Epps could start, it seems like the Eagles want to add more at the position. South Carolina safety Jalon Kilgore did it all for the Gamecocks and fits the molds of what Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio looks for in the secondary.

While the Eagles weren’t able to land Nick Emmanwori in last year’s draft, Kilgore played alongside him at South Carolina and offers a similar blend of size, athleticism and versatility. At 6’1 3/8”, 210 lbs. with 32 7/8” arms, Kilgore checks all of the boxes while also earning a Relative Athletic Score of 9.60. The 21-year-old would immediately start alongside Andrew Mukuba in Philadelphia’s secondary.

Trade! Eagles trade a 2026 fourth-round pick (114th overall) and a 2026 fifth-round pick (166th overall) to the Raiders for a 2026 fourth-round pick (102nd overall).

Round 4, Pick 102: Markel Bell, OT, Miami (FL)

After moving back to start day two, Roseman gets aggressive and moves up towards the top of the fourth round. He calls up his former colleague in Raiders general manager John Spytek and gets aggressive to land Lane Johnson’s potential successor. Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell is a mountain of a human being that Philadelphia reportedly hosted on a pre-draft visit.

At 6’9 1/4”, 346 lbs. with 36 3/8” arms, Bell brings rare size to the position that he has yet to fully maximize. While Bell is far from a finished product, he would land in a perfect situation in Philadelphia. The 21-year-old would be able to sit behind Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson and Fred Johnson next season before eventually pushing for a role in 2027.

Round 4, Pick 124: Nick Singleton, RB, Penn State

In his final press conference before the 2026 NFL Draft, Roseman talked about the team’s strategy on day three of the event. Roseman pointed to the fact that the Eagles try to identify players with Pro Bowl potential, despite their position or the team’s needs. Penn State running back Nick Singleton could certainly fall in that category.

With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley already on the roster, Philadelphia doesn’t necessarily need a running back. Yet Barkley isn’t getting any younger, Bigsby is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and Shipley has failed to standout. Singleton is a former five-star recruit and National Player of the Year coming out of Governor Mifflin High School in Shillington, PA. I could see Roseman betting on a local kid that they’ve met with several times during the pre-draft process.

Round 5, Pick 178: Wesley Williams, EDGE, Duke

The Eagles added Arnold Ebiketie and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka at edge rusher this offseason. Yet my guess is that Philadelphia isn’t done adding to their pass rush in 2026. While an eventual return to Brandon Graham seems likely, the Eagles could use a younger option to develop on a rookie deal. Duke edge rusher Wesley Williams would be an ideal fit.

At 6’3 3/4” and 256 lbs., Williams has the build to survive on the edge at the next level. Yet it’s his play personality and power that could win over Philadelphia’s scouts and coaches. Williams is relentless and it shows with his impact on special teams, as he blocked five kicks over the last three seasons. He also has the versatility to move inside, which should improve if he’s able to learn from a veteran such as Graham in Philadelphia.

Round 6, Pick 197: Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo

While many are hoping that the Eagles will draft Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Philadelphia could target another member of the Rockets’ secondary. Toledo cornerback Andre Fuller has reportedly met with the Eagles at least three times during the pre-draft process and could be reunited with Quinyon Mitchell in Philadelphia.

At 6’1”, 200 lbs., Fuller has intriguing size for a cornerback and it’s worth noting that he also played safety earlier in his college career. He also has experience contributing on special teams, which is always important for a day three selection. Fuller possesses the size and positional versatility that is worth taking a chance on at this point of the 2026 NFL Draft.
