Eagles trade back, find Lane Johnson’s heir apparent, add multiple playmakers, and a developmental QB in 7-round NFL mock draft
The latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft plugs several key holes for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles are at the beginning of a very important offseason. Head coach Nick Sirianni is tasked with recreating the culture after a down year in 2025, and it is going to start with getting the offense rolling again. General manager Howie Roseman must also plug several holes in this roster right now in order for this team to keep their winning window open.
In my most recent 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, continuing to add pieces to the trenches on both sides of the football was important. There was also an early trade involved to get even more draft capital, which was used to find answers for some of the more pressing issues. It ended up being an outstanding haul for the Eagles.
Round 1, Pick 23: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson
Lane Johnson is nearing the end of his career, and finding his heir apparent at right tackle could be important this offseason. Blessed with a long frame and impressive foot quickness, Miller has all of the tools to become a tremendous starter down the road. It sounds like the Eagles have some high interest in the former Clemson star early on.
Round 2, Pick 54: R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma
Thomas might be undersized, but his explosiveness and bend as a pass rusher are very much real. Even if Thomas never becomes much of a run defender, his impact to get after the quarterback will provide him with a role for a long time in the NFL.
Round 3, Pick 68: Max Klare, TE, Ohio State
Even though his production dipped during his lone season with Ohio State, Klare still has a strong argument to be the second tight end off the board behind Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq. He is a super smooth athlete who excels as a route runner, similarly to former Eagles star Zach Ertz.
The Philadelphia Eagles traded the No. 98 selection to the Dallas Cowboys for the No. 112 and No. 150 selections
Round 4, Pick 112: VJ Payne, S, Kansas State
At 6-3 and 210 pounds, Payne is a massive safety who possesses a ton of versatility. His biggest impact early on could come as a tight end eraser and subpackage linebacker. Payne should be a difference maker on special teams, as well.
Round 4, Pick 122: Kage Casey, IOL, Boise State
A left tackle at Boise State, Casey projects best on the inside on the NFL level. He is a balanced and consistent lineman in terms of his technique. Adding solid depth to an aging offensive line is ideal.
Round 4, Pick 137: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma
While Burks has dealt with some durability issues in recent years, he is a dynamic athlete when he is on the field. When he works after the catch, the former Purdue transfer brings a lot of juice to the table. That would be a welcome addition to the Eagles’ offense.
Round 5, Pick 150: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
Allar has gone from extremely overrated to undervalued due to his midseason ankle injury. He does bring a great frame and a big arm, which should provide some developmental upside to work with. This is a solid dart throw at this point in the draft.
Round 5, Pick 151: Zane Durant, DT, Penn State
Durant didn’t have the 2025 season that many hoped for, but he still has some tremendous movement skills to work with. In a scheme that asks its defensive linemen to penetrate, Durant would fit perfectly.
Round 6, Pick 179: Xavian Sorey Jr., LB, Arkansas
While he’s a bit undersized, Sorey is an athletic linebacker with legitimate range on the second level. He also plays with reckless abandon while playing downhill, although Sorey’s eyes can be extremely inconsistent at times.
