The Eagles’ draft cupboard is suddenly looking a lot fuller, and that gives Howie Roseman room to get aggressive. After the NFL trade deadline and the Jordan Davis deal to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia now has 10 picks in the first two rounds over the next three drafts. That kind of ammo can reshape a roster fast.
In this mock, the Eagles don’t sit still at No. 5 overall. Instead, they slide back with the Saints, picking up No.
12, No. 43 and No. 76 while sending away the top selection. The move sets up a haul that starts with Jordan Seaton, the consensus No. 1 tackle in the class.
Seaton comes in as the long-term answer on the edge, with the Eagles still sorting through life after Lane Johnson. Third-round rookie Markel Bell has had an up-and-down year filling in for the retired Johnson, and Seaton looks like the cleaner bet to eventually take over.
The offensive line gets even more attention later, too, because the interior has its own questions. Drew Kendall is at center, Tyler Steen is on an expiring deal at right guard, and Landon Dickerson, who contemplated retirement this offseason, is at left guard.
Roseman then uses the extra first-round flexibility to climb back into Round 1 and grab a quarterback: Trinidad Chambliss at No. 29.
The Eagles send No. 36 and No. 105 to the Broncos to make it happen. It’s a swing that reflects the uncertainty around Jalen Hurts, who entered the 2026 season at a crossroads with the organization before playing five games and then being ruled out for the year with blood clots.
He’s due $22 million guaranteed next season, and there’s no guaranteed money left on his deal for 2028.
That makes Chambliss a very real fit in this scenario. He’s described as an experienced dual-threat quarterback who went from SEC backup to hero. The comparison point is obvious, and the idea of Roseman drafting a quarterback while Hurts is still technically the franchise guy isn’t far-fetched at all.
The Eagles keep building around the quarterback room and the trenches in Round 2 and Round 3. At No. 43, they take Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson.
The rookie Eli Stowers has started slowly, Dallas Goedert looks like a post-June 1 cut, Johnny Mundt has been bad, and Grant Calcaterra hasn’t offered much either. Johnson brings a huge catch radius and seam-stretching ability, even if the blocking needs work.
At No. 76, Philadelphia adds another lineman in Austin Siereveld from Ohio State.
He played tackle in college, but he projects better inside. That matters with Dickerson’s situation unclear and Steen nearing the end of his deal, while the depth chart also leans on Willie Lampkin and Micah Morris.
The Eagles use their next third-rounder, No. 97, on Kentucky defensive tackle Tavion Gadson. With Davis gone, the expectation is that the team will commit long term to Moro Ojomo.
Beyond him and Jalen Carter, though, the depth gets thin quickly. Byron Young is on an expiring deal, Ty Robinson hasn’t shown much, and Uar Bernard is still a ways away.
Gadson is there to help right away as a rotational piece.
Day 3 brings more pieces for the future. Georgia running back Nate Frazier lands at No. 151, giving Philadelphia another explosive option behind Saquon Barkley.
Tank Bigsby’s contract is up, and Will Shipley’s rookie deal expires after next season. The Eagles also add Alabama safety Bray Hubbard at No. 158, a hard-hitting defender who could bring some juice to a safety group that hasn’t gotten much from Drew Mukuba in his second season.
Marcus Epps, Michael Carter II and Kenny Moore are all on expiring deals, and seventh-round rookie Cole Wisniewski hasn’t shown much.
Finally, the Eagles use their last pick on California wide receiver Ian Strong at No. 233.
Strong put up 762 receiving yards and 52 catches in 10 games at Rutgers in 2025 before transferring to Cal, where he has 478 yards in eight games. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, he gives Philadelphia one more big-bodied look for the receiver room.

Eagles Trade Partner Is Now Apologizing After Deadline Deal Fell Apart
The Bengals were looking for edge-rushing help after placing rookie Cashius Howell on injured reserve, and the deadline buzz briefly pointed them toward Philadelphia and Arnold Ebiketie. But the proposed deal never got over the finish line, leaving the Eagles with a trade partner that backed away once the full cost became clear.
Zac Taylor later apologized on behalf of Bengals executive Duke Tobin, saying the unexpected price tag was the reason the move fell apart and adding that Philadelphia had been a good trade partner. For the Eagles, it was a reminder that even when there is interest in moving a player, the final terms can shift quickly enough to stop a deadline deal in its tracks. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Draft Picks Are Suddenly Playing For Much More Than This Season
The Eagles focus has shifted quickly from the immediate chase to a broader evaluation of what they have on hand, with recent moves involving Cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis and the likely season-ending injury to Jalen Hurts forcing the staff to look harder at the younger pieces. In that kind of stretch, players such as Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, Markel Bell, Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba are not just filling snaps, they are getting a real chance to show how they fit into the future while the team sorts through a losing streak and uneven play on both sides of the ball.
Offensively, Sean Mannions group has had trouble finding consistency, and Vic Fangios defense has had its own ups and downs, which only raises the stakes for the recent draft classes now on the field. The Eagles are no longer just asking whether these players can help in the moment, but whether the reps they are getting now will change how the organization views their roles going forward.

Eagles Bye Week Has Put Nick Sirianni Under Real Pressure
The bye week has arrived at a rough moment for Nick Sirianni, with the Eagles mired in a seven-game losing streak and the noise around his future growing louder by the day. It is the kind of stretch that invites hard questions in Philadelphia, even for a coach who has already guided the team to multiple playoff trips and a Super Bowl title.
Still, a midseason move would run against both Siriannis track record and the way the organization has typically handled coaching decisions. The injuries have complicated an already ugly season, and while the pressure is real, the more likely outcome is that the Eagles let the situation breathe a little longer before making any drastic call.
