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.
