Here is the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2026 NFL Draft class
Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff have created their rookie class from the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, they will add UDFA talent following the conclusion of Day 3.
The Philadelphia Eagles have completed their latest NFL Draft class.
General manager Howie Roseman pulled off a massive trade for Pro Bowler Jonathan Greenard during day two, and the Birds created a strong class for both right now and down the road.
Eagles’ 2026 NFL Draft class
1st Round, Pick 20: WR Makai Lemon, USC
The Eagles prepare for life after A.J. Brown with a first-round wide receiver. The Biletikoff award winner joins Jalen Hurts’ offense, and Lemon will step into a starting role immediately for Philly.
2nd Round, Pick 54: TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Stowers steps into the passing game for the Birds. The Eagles singed Dallas Goedert to a one-year deal this extension, but they still need a long-term answer at the position. Stowers is an elite athlete at the TE position and excels in the receiving game.
3rd Round, Pick 68: T Markel Bell, Miami
Philadelphia takes a big swing on potential with Bell, who is 6-foot-9 and a quarter, 346 pounds, with a 87″ wingspan. Huge athlete looking to improve entering the pros.
“The Eagles could certainly be planning on a “redshirt” style of year in 2026 for Bell as Lane Johnson finishes his career. Bell could be seen as a long-term replacement for Johnson. The long-time star tackle considered retirement this offseason and may hang up his cleats following this campaign for the Eagles.” — A to Z Sports
5th Round, Pick 178: QB Cole Payton, North Dakota State
The Eagles met with Payton during the pre-draft process. They clearly had their eye on him as a potential addition, and he has the athleticism to play as a mobile quarterback or a unique offensive weapon. As of now, he wants to try his hand at playing quarterback, but he could end up at tight end.
Payton, a lefty, completed 71.2% of his passes for 2,719 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions last season. He also ran for 894 yards and 13 touchdowns with a 7.5 yards per carry average. His athleticism may actually entice pro teams more than his passing prowess.
6th Round, Pick 207: G Micah Morris, Georgia
Philly selects another developmental offensive line piece for the class. After electing Markel Bell earlier in the draft, Morris joins the fold as current depth along the inside of the OL for the Eagles.
7th Round, Pick 244: S Cole Wisniewski, Texas Tech
The Eagles add a productive defensive back to the mix late on day three. Wisniewski was often projected to go sometime earlier on day three, but he slipped to this point. The Eagles will hope to get some depth play out of him in their secondary.
7th Round, Pick 251: DT Uar Bernard
7th Round, Pick 252: EDGE Keyshawn James-Newby, New Mexico
Eagles’ reported UDFA signings
This list will be updated as the Eagle sign UDFAs over the course of the next couple of days.
