With the NFL Combine officially in the books, it’s time to take a deep dive into the 2026 NFL Draft for the Philadelphia Eagles and general manager Howie Roseman.

This year’s draft may lack firepower at the top end of the draft, but the class is riddled with many prospects that could fill key roles at the next level, making it even more important for Roseman to hit on a majority of his eight picks in the draft.

Here’s what the Eagles could do in the 2026 NFL Draft following the conclusion of the NFL Combine.

Starting off on the defensive side of the ball, Clemson’s TJ Parker is coming off an incredible performance at the Combine and has pushed his name back into first-round consideration.

Parker was one of the highest-rated prospects heading into the 2025 college football season, but his draft stock took a significant hit after failing to repeat his incredible sophomore season with the Tigers. But at 6-foot-3, 262 lbs. with explosiveness off the line of scrimmage, the young talent could develop into a perfect defensive end at the NFL level.

Sticking to the defense, the Eagles are in desperate need of an additional cornerback to play alongside budding star Quinyon Mitchell in 2026. Fortunately for the organization, San Diego State’s Chris Johnson could be exactly what the Eagles need in round two.

Johnson was easily one of the best cornerbacks in all of college football last season, recording a PFF grade of 91.6 in 2025. The Aztec projects to be a second cornerback for whichever team selects him in the upcoming draft, making him a no-brainer pick for Philadelphia.

With all the concerns surrounding star wide receiver AJ Browns' status with the team next year, it’s clear that the Eagles should consider finding his replacement in the upcoming draft.

Luckily for Roseman, Indiana’s Elijah Sarratt could be exactly what Philadelphia needs in the case of a Brown departure. At 6-foot-2, 210 lbs., Sarratt demonstrated his ability to catch in traffic, which is a perfect pairing for quarterback Jalen Hurts. And with a third-round price tag, the former Hoosier could be of great value for the Eagles’ offense in the future.

Outside of some minor holes on the defensive side of the ball, Philadelphia could use the rest of its picks on positions that will need to be addressed in the coming years.

With veteran right tackle Lane Johnson nearing retirement, Florida’s Austin Barber would be a perfect flyer pick on the offensive line to learn under Johnson for a season. Barber allowed three sacks throughout his final season with the Gators, and despite playing left tackle for his college career, he could potentially transition into Johnson’s successor down the road.
