Here we goā¦
Round 1 (No. 23): Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Iheanachor struggles with footwork and with the timing of his punches, which could be a problem in the NFL. Itās not surprising that Iheanachorās technique is all over the place ā he only started playing football five years ago and is still learning the nuances of the position.
But the Eagles would be a perfect landing spot for Iheanachor, who wouldnāt be rushed onto the field as a rookie. He would learn behind AllāPro right tackle Lane Johnson, refine his technique, and position himself as the starter when Johnson retires.
Iheanachor has an impressive combination of size (6-5ā , 321 pounds), length (33ā ā), athleticism and power. He is very nimble and does a great job of mirroring explosive pass rushers. He could eventually develop into one of the NFLās best right tackles.
Round 2 (No. 54): Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois
Jacas has a different body type from Philadelphiaās other young edge rushers. At 6-3ā and 260 pounds, heās a big power rusher who defeats blocks with strong, skilled hands.
The Eagles' first-round draft predictions for 2026 include potential starters and key position heirs apparent.
The 2026 NFL Draft begins on Thursday and concludes on Saturday, covering all seven rounds.
The mock draft predicts two heirs apparent for key positions, though specific names are not detailed in the excerpt.

Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea started strong but ended in decline.

Over the last two years, Jacas has combined for 19 sacks and six forced fumbles. He has an average first step and is not super twitchy, but his play strength, relentless motor and pass-rush savvy make him a high-floor prospect. He would improve the depth of Philadelphiaās defensive line and could develop into a starter during his rookie contract.
Round 3 (No. 68): DeāZhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
Stribling has a great combination of size (6-2, 207 pounds) and speed (4.36 40-yard dash), making him difficult to cover downfield.
Striblingās ability to win over the top could maximize the skill set of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is one of the leagueās best deep-ball throwers. He finished the 2025 season with 55 catches for 811 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 14.7 yards per reception.
Stribling would help replace some of A.J. Brownās production this upcoming season and could develop into a quality starter. He wore the No. 1 jersey at Ole Miss, just like Brown did.
Round 3 (No. 98): Trey Zuhn III, G/C, Texas A&M
A four-year starter at left tackle for the Aggies, Zuhn is expected to move inside to guard or center in the NFL. He has the skills to thrive on the interior. Heās quick and explosive out of his stance, climbs to the second level to make difficult blocks and plays with a good anchor in pass protection. He could either replace the Eaglesā starting left guard, Landon Dickerson, or their starting right guard, Tyler Steen, in 2027. He could also start games at center or tackle if injuries happen. He would be a safe, smart pick.
Round 4 (No. 114): VJ Payne, S, Kansas State
Payne is a freaky athlete who has a wingspan of about 81 inches.
That length shows up on tape. He knocks tight ends off their routes and makes plays on the ball. He plays physically in the box and in the slot, and is consistently disruptive.
Payne finished with 59 tackles, one interception, and two forced fumbles last season. Philadelphia could view him as a potential starter next to free safety Drew Mukuba.
Round 4 (No. 137): Marlin Klein, TE, Michigan
Klein spent the past two seasons in an uninspiring offense hampered by poor quarterback play and did not produce much. He recorded only 24 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown this past season.
Despite those modest numbers, Klein has the tools to be more productive in the NFL.
Heās flashed upside as a route runner and has won down the seam against slower linebackers and safeties. Heās also developed into a strong blocker at the point of attack.
He could become Philadelphiaās No. 2 tight end next season and play a decent role in the passing game. His athleticism and blocking should translate to the NFL.
Round 5 (No. 178): Nick Barrett, DT, South Carolina
Barrett takes on blocks with great strength, has powerful hands and moves well. He doesnāt offer much as a pass rusher, but he could be an effective run stuffer. The 6-2, 312-pound defensive tackle finished the 2025 season with 42 tackles and two sacks. The Eagles could add Barrett to a deep rotation in 2026 and play him over Ty Robinson and Byron Young.
Round 6 (No. 197): Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo
Fuller is a physical, 6-1, 200-pound cornerback. He knocks wide receivers off their routes and makes tackles around the line of scrimmage. Philadelphia could bring him in as a developmental cornerback. He could reunite with college teammate Quinyon Mitchell in the Eaglesā cornerback room and provide solid depth and contribute on special teams.
