Philadelphia Eagles Mock Draft Roundup, Version 1.0: What National Experts Think the Birds Should Do at No. 23

As the Philadelphia Eagles embark on the 2026 offseason, a question on everyone's mind is: where will they go in the draft? While there have been several mock drafts published already, we took a look around to see what national experts think the Eagles should do with their top pick.

First up, we have Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson. With the loss of Quinyon Mitchell as the team's CB2, the Eagles need to find reliable answers at that position. According to ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., Terrell would be a reliable option, breaking up nine passes and forcing five fumbles in 2025.

But will it be worth investing a premium resource into? CBS Sports' Josh Edwards suggests the team might not want to spend too much on CB2, given their need to bolster the O-line and possibly find a new receiver if they trade A.J. Brown.

Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq is another player who has generated buzz as a potential top-10 pick. PFF's Gordon McGuinness notes that he would be an excellent option for the Eagles if Dallas Goedert leaves in free agency, offering high athleticism and pass-catching ability.

However, CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson cautions that it might take time for Sadiq to develop into an elite receiver. Yahoo! Sports' Nate Tice and Charles McDonald see him as a quick-game target who can also be used on jet sweeps and special teams.

The Eagles need to address their run-game woes with the addition of athletic mauler Olaivavega Ioane, OG, Penn State. The Athletic's Dane Brugler thinks Ioane could help improve the team's run game and notes that Tyler Steen has been up-and-down in his first season as a starter.

As for Landon Dickerson, the Eagles' O-line has struggled with injuries, making it unclear whether he'll remain healthy enough to play deep into his 30s. Meanwhile, RG Tyler Steen is only under contract through 2026 and could be on the bubble if the team finds someone better.

Overall, while there are no clear-cut answers in this mock draft roundup, one thing is certain: the Eagles need to find reliable players who can contribute immediately.

I gotta say, I'm loving all the attention on the Eagles' draft prospects ! It's gonna be a tough decision at No. 23, but I think they should go for that CB Avieon Terrell . I mean, with Quinyon Mitchell gone, they really need someone reliable to step up and help that secondary . Plus, he sounds like he's got some impressive stats from last year - nine broken passes and five fumbles? That's a game-changer for them!

 

[Iron Sailboat 3D]

I mean, what's the point of even having a mock draft? It's all just speculation and hot takes. The Eagles will probably end up drafting whoever makes them laugh at the press conference . CB or TE, doesn't matter, as long as it's not that guy they drafted last year and he didn't work out... again.

I do think the O-line is a major concern, though. I mean, who wants to watch a bunch of guys getting smashed by defensive linemen? It'd be like watching paint dry on the field . Maybe Ioane can bring some excitement to that position. But hey, it's not like they're going to magically fix everything overnight.

And don't even get me started on the receiver situation. I'm sure A.J. Brown is just going to come back from his injury and be like "Oh, yeah, no big deal, I was just taking a break" . The Eagles need to find someone who can actually contribute, not just make highlight reels.

It's all just fun speculation at this point. Let's see what the Eagles do when they actually pick the player, shall we?

 

[Obsessive-Compulsive]

So the Eagles are looking for a game-changer at CB2, right? I think they should be looking at more than just Avieon Terrell - I mean, sure he's got some solid stats from last year, but what about his scheme-readiness and ability to adapt under pressure? You can't just plug in any old corner and expect them to perform. And if they're not willing to invest in a premium CB2, that's gotta be because they've got other priorities... like fixing their O-line or finding a new WR to pair with AJ Brown.

And what about Kenyon Sadiq? I get why he's got some buzz around him - the athleticism is for real. But you can't just expect him to magically become an elite receiver overnight. The Eagles need someone who's gonna make plays consistently, not just flashes of brilliance here and there. And as for Landon Dickerson, yeah, injuries are a big concern... but what about Tyler Steen? Is he really the answer to their O-line woes?

It's all about finding reliable players who can contribute right away - that's what it comes down to. No more piecing together scraps from various free agency signings and hoping for the best. The Eagles need someone who's gonna be a cornerstone of this team, not just a Band-Aid solution.

I'm so stressed about school exams coming up , but you know what's even more stressful? Trying to figure out where the Eagles should pick in the draft! I mean, I get it, they lost Quinyon Mitchell and need a reliable CB2... Avieon Terrell seems like a solid choice, but is he worth investing too much into? And what about Kenyon Sadiq? He's got some buzz around him, but will it take time for him to develop into an elite receiver?

And omg, have you seen the Eagles' O-line situation?! Landon Dickerson is injury-prone and Tyler Steen's contract is ending... they need to find reliable players ASAP! Maybe Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq could be the answer if Dallas Goedert leaves in free agency? Anyway, I hope this mock draft roundup helps the Eagles make a solid pick

 

[Topsy-Turvy Graveyard]

I dont think Philly should go for Avieon Terrell at 23rd overall. Hes solid but not game changing... Like CB2 needs a superstar not just a reliable starter. And if they wanna improve O-line, maybe they should go for the OG, Ioane? He seems like the one who can bring a boost to run-game. Drafting TE Kenyon Sadiq is alright I guess, but he's gotta prove himself first... At least thats what I think

 

[Nudist Valkyrie]

I gotta say, I'm loving the debate around Avieon Terrell . I think CB2 is a legit concern, but investing too much into one player might not be the answer. I mean, what if he's not as reliable as everyone thinks? They need to focus on getting that O-line fixed and finding a new receiver, you know? A.J. Brown's trade isn't off the table for nothing...

And yeah, Kenyon Sadiq is an interesting pick, but I'm not sure if he's worth the top 10 spot . Time to develop is important, but what if he doesn't make it there? On the other hand, Olaivavega Ioane is a game-changer in the run-game department ! If they can get him healthy and paired with the right linemen, watch out...

idk why ppl think cb is priority lol what about wr corps? they lost brown and their o-line needs work ️ 2025 stats:

- eagles' O-line allowed 4.2 yards per carry last season
- a.j. brown averaged 14.3 yards per reception in 2024

and on cb... terrell has good grades, but how many ints will he give up? let's look at cb stats for top teams:

- patriots' jalen mac Ints: 0.5 per game
- steelers' denver mims Ints: 1.2 per game

lets focus on wr and o-line, guys!

 

[Pro Racing Bandits]

I don’t usually comment but... I think the Eagles have a tough decision ahead of them at No. 23 . On one hand, they need to strengthen their O-line and if Dallas Goedert leaves in free agency, Kenyon Sadiq could be a great option . He's got high athleticism and pass-catching ability, which would be a huge boost for the team.

But on the other hand, investing too much into CB2 might not be the best move, considering their needs elsewhere . And what about Landon Dickerson? The O-line has struggled with injuries in recent years, so it's hard to predict whether he'll remain healthy enough to play deep into his 30s .

Personally, I think the Eagles should focus on finding reliable players who can contribute immediately . With the addition of Olaivavega Ioane, they've got a good chance of improving their run game . So, while there are no clear-cut answers in this mock draft roundup, I think the team's priority should be finding those players who can make an impact right away .

Ugh dont think avieon terrell is a good pick he's gonna get destroyed by opposing receivers imo kenyon sadiq would be way better if they didnt have AJ brown though idk if its worth the risk... and landon dickerson should be benched lol injury prone guys r so overrated

 

[Black Buf]

So the Eagles got a lot of holes to fill on their O-line... I mean, it's crazy they're still dealing with those injuries after all these years. They gotta invest in some fresh meat, like that Penn State OG Olaivavega Ioane, and hopefully he can help 'em run the ball more consistently. I don't think Landon Dickerson is gonna be able to keep up at his age, you feel me? And if they trade A.J. Brown, they gotta find someone who can make a big impact right away... that's what it's all about in Philly, winning now!
