Philadelphia Eagles make some difficult decisions, surround Jalen Hurts with new weapons in latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft
The latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft plugs several of the biggest holes on the Philadelphia Eagles roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles had their season end on a sour note after falling to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 23-19 in the first round of the NFL playoffs. With that early exit, folks and fans around Philadelphia are none too pleased. Head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman are now tasked with figuring out the problems with the roster and trying to fix it this offseason.
The 2026 NFL Draft is going to offer a chance for the Eagles to find some answers to the roster’s biggest question marks. In my latest 7-round mock draft, the priority was trying to rebuild the offense and make it a more explosive attack. Some of the biggest holes were filled, giving this Eagles team a chance to get right heading into the 2026 season.
Round 1, Pick 23: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
With Lane Johnson nearing the end of his career, it would be smart for the Eagles to invest in some talented young offensive tackles. Lomu also has a big enough frame to compete on the interior as well if Johnson does stick around. Still one of the youngest prospects in the 2026 class, Lomu has a lot of upside to get excited about.
Round 2, Pick 54: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
With AJ Brown’s future having some uncertainty, investing in the wide receiver room could be a smart play by the Eagles. Bell brings a very similar body type to Brown, while also doing a ton of damage after the catch. With Bell coming back from a knee injury, there is a chance he falls, which should be a huge win for whatever organization drafts him.
Round 3, Pick 68: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
Philadelphia needs to get a bit more out of its defensive end room next season. While Dennis-Sutton is still a bit of a work in progress as a player, he also has all of the size, length, and movement skills to develop into a valuable player on the NFL level.
Round 3, Pick 98: Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt
Stowers has somehow become a very underrated tight end in the 2026 class. While he is never going to excel inline, he is a passing game weapon. With Dallas Goedert set to hit free agency, there could be a massive need at tight end moving forward.
Round 4, Pick 122: Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State
From a height-weight-speed perspective, Igbinosun has everything you would want at the cornerback position. He is far too grabby at the catch point, but there is still a great baseline to work with. There is no reason to believe that Igbinosun can’t develop into a future starter.
Round 4, Pick 138: Logan Jones, IOL, Iowa
Jones is not going to be for everyone. He is a really smooth athlete, but Jones lacks size and is very scheme-dependent. Luckily for him, the Eagles are a team that values movement skills at center.
Round 5, Pick 152: John Mateer, QB, Oklahoma
The best of Mateer looks like a future NFL starter. The worst of him looks like a player who won’t make a roster. It is unlikely that Mateer enters the 2026 class, but if he does, he is nothing more than a talented athlete that a team may want to develop.
Round 5, Pick 180: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson
If Capehart could ever put it all together, he would be a starting nose tackle on the NFL level. There just hasn’t been enough progress over the last two years, including some durability issues. At this point in the draft, however, he is a very sound dart throw to make.
Round 6, Pick 202: Bud Clark, S, TCU
Clark is a thinly built safety who has some great instincts and ball skills in coverage. The lack of mass will hurt Clark as a run defender, but it is a passing league, so having versatile players on the back end is never a bad thing.
