Howie Roseman keeps turning the Eagles’ slide into draft capital.
With Philadelphia’s 2026 season unraveling - injuries piling up and Lane Johnson’s retirement helping fuel a seven-game losing streak - the Eagles have shifted into seller mode ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. After moving OL Cam Jurgens to the Ravens last month, Roseman made another deal Monday, sending hulking defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars.
In return, Philadelphia is getting a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick, according to Adam Schefter. It’s another major boost to the Eagles’ stash of future assets, and it gives Roseman even more ammunition for the quick retool he appears to be building.
The Davis trade also fits into a bigger pattern. After the offseason move involving A.J.
Brown brought back the Patriots’ 2028 first-rounder, the Eagles now own four first-round picks across the next two drafts, including their own. They’re also set up with multiple second-round selections in both 2028 and 2029.
Here’s where Philadelphia stands now in the draft department over the next three years, per Spotrac:
2027
1st Round, Own
1st Round, via Jaguars
2nd Round, Own
3rd Round, Projected Compensatory Pick
4th Round, Own
5th Round, Own
5th Round, via Ravens
5th Round, via Patriots (conditional)
7th Round, via Vikings
2028
1st Round, Own
1st Round, via Patriots
2nd Round, Own
2nd Round, via Ravens
3rd Round, Own
4th Round, Own
5th Round, Own
6th Round, Own
7th Round, Own
2029
1st Round, Own
2nd Round, Own
2nd Round, via Jaguars
3rd Round, Own
4th Round, Own
5th Round, Own
6th Round, Own
7th Round, Own
All told, the Eagles are sitting on 10 first- or second-round picks over the next three drafts. That kind of haul gives them plenty of room to reshape the roster without tearing it down completely.
On offense, the projected core includes Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Devonta Smith, Jordan Mailata, Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers. On defense, Philadelphia still has Jalen Carter, Zack Baun, Jonathan Greenard, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in place.
And with that kind of veteran talent already on hand, Roseman may not be done. The Eagles have enough draft capital to chase another star this offseason or the next if the right opportunity comes along.
Their own 2027 first-round pick is already looking like a premium selection. After Week 9, Philadelphia’s 2-7 record would slot them at No. 5 in April. Jacksonville, meanwhile, is projected to land the No. 25 pick as one of the league’s top teams this season.

Carson Wentz Just Gave Eagles Fans Another Brutal Reminder
Carson Wentzs latest start offered Eagles fans another jarring reminder of how far his career has drifted from the days when he was supposed to be the long-term answer in Philadelphia. On Monday night for the Vikings against the Bills, he struggled from the opening stretch and never found a rhythm, finishing 8 of 25 for 81 yards with two interceptions before being benched in the fourth quarter.
The performance was ugly enough to draw boos from the home crowd, and the 23-6 loss only deepened the frustration around it. Wentzs 8.9 passer rating went down as the second-worst single-game mark by a Vikings starting quarterback with at least 20 pass attempts, another rough entry in a career that keeps producing painful flashbacks for anyone who remembers the Eagles years.

Howie Roseman Just Reopened A Debate Eagles Fans Know Well
Howie Roseman has never been shy about treating the draft like a long-term portfolio, and this latest stretch of moves only sharpens that reputation. After a few recent transactions did not land the way the Eagles hoped, the general manager has gone back to the familiar playbook of stockpiling future capital, a strategy that always gets Philadelphia talking because it can look either visionary or overly patient depending on how the next few seasons unfold.
The latest deals keep that debate alive. Jordan Davis is now headed to Jacksonville, while Cam Jurgens is on his way to Baltimore, and the returns are centered more on future flexibility than immediate help. For Eagles fans, that means the conversation shifts once again to whether Roseman is building the kind of runway that keeps the roster strong for years, or simply asking the present to wait for a payoff that is still a long way off.

Howie Roseman Just Pulled Off Another Eagles Trade Fans Will Love
Howie Roseman has built a reputation for squeezing real value out of the trade market, and this latest move only adds to it. The Eagles sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville and, in return, landed a 2027 first-round pick plus a 2029 second-rounder, a haul that immediately drew praise from former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho for the amount of draft capital Philadelphia secured.
For a player who had just signed a three-year, $78 million extension in March, the deal stands out even more. Davis was set to begin that contract after the 2026 season, so the Eagles are parting with a notable piece of their defensive front while banking on future flexibility, and the full impact of the move will be judged by how Roseman uses those picks down the line.
