The Philadelphia Eagles' biggest need after the 2026 NFL Draft is at the safety position, which remains unresolved despite adding depth. The current roster lacks a dominant safety capable of controlling the middle of the field.
For all the praise surrounding the Philadelphia Eaglesâ 2026 draft class, praise that is no doubt well-deserved, one thing remains clear. They didnât fix everything, and the biggest question mark is staring them right in the face. Despite adding bodies, the safety position is an unfinished room that stands out as the most pressing need on the roster.
Philadelphia added Cole Wisniewski in the seventh round, and there's optimism he could develop into a contributor. Some have even floated comparisons to Reed Blankenship, but early indications suggest Wisniewski may do his best work closer to the line of scrimmage rather than as a true deep safety. That creates a gap because the Eagles lack a presence on the back end who can control the middle of the field and change how offenses attack.
Philadelphia's current group of safeties offers bodies, but not certainty. Drew Mukuba is expected to take the next step in his starting role in Year 2, even as he returns from injury. Marcus Epps provides experience and familiarity, but he isn't viewed as a long-term difference-maker. J.T. Gray is a core special teamer, while Andreâ Sam and Brandon Johnson remain developmental options.
Undrafted additions like Tucker Large, Maximus Pulley, and Kapena Gushiken bring competition, but they're long shots to solve the issue immediately (and Gushiken may be better suited to play slot cornerback). That's the reality. That said, it would seem the safety position is still one in flux for Philadelphia.
The departure of Blankenship and helped reshape this room quickly. Whatâs left is a group still searching for identity, and in todayâs NFL, that isn't always a small concern. Safeties arenât just last-line defenders anymore. Theyâre communicators, playmakers, and tone-setters. Without a clear answer at the position, the entire defense can feel it. The Eagles have options. They could explore veteran additions. They could trust internal development. They could wait and see how the competition unfolds in camp, but make no mistake. This isnât a minor detail to monitor. Itâs the one question that could define how far this defense and this team can go because for all the strengths on this roster, the Eagles still need someone to hold it all together on the back end.
The Eagles' biggest need is at the safety position, which remains unresolved despite recent additions.
The current safeties include Drew Mukuba, Marcus Epps, J.T. Gray, Andreâ Sam, and Brandon Johnson.
