Here are my top players in the 2026 NFL Draft. The board is a bit skewed towards positions the Eagles are prioritizing, so it’s heavy on offensve/defensive linemen and wide receivers. Overall, it’s a class whose richness is in the middle. As it stands, the Eagles’ wealth of mid-round picks should turn into great value for them.

Notably, because it’s hard for me to quantify health and off-field concern, that does not impact player rankings. These are based on tape, production, and combine performance.

2. Caleb Downs, Safety, Ohio State
3. Rueben Bain Jr., Edge Defender, Miami
4. David Bailey, Edge Defender, Texas Tech
