Eagles' big board: 8 prospects who fit Philadelphia's drafting philosophy

The Eagles have revamped their offensive coaching staff, and with the new league year fast approaching, the team will sign free agents and look to extend the contracts of Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and others. Amid those projects, is Philadelphia preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft and could revert to building its roster through the trenches?

The Eagles have used picks on cornerbacks, linebackers, defensive tackles, and multiple other positions outside of the trenches, but that should change this April. Over the past three years, Philadelphia has used early draft capital on other key positions and hasn't drafted an offensive lineman in the first two rounds since Cam Jurgens in 2022.

Philadelphia has a certain player prototype, preferring athletic prospects with big-game experience and leadership. Every player drafted in 2025 had spent three years in school or had served as a captain.
