Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles did what was needed once again in the 2026 NFL draft, accomplishing what many expected them to when entering the draft out in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Of course, games aren't won by what the Eagles do in the offseason, but it was an impressive draft for them, as they also added one of the top edge rushers in the NFL in Jonathan Greenard via a trade in a deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

From the sound of things, not only is Greenard expected to come in and be one of the top players on this Eagles defense, but he has a lot of respect for what the organization has done throughout the past few years, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, who he sounds excited to play on the other side of the football from.

"I had that game circled, I'm not gonna lie. These are Super Bowl Champions, these are some All-Pros, and arguably one of the greatest tackles ever in Lane Johnson, and obviously Jordan Mailata is going to be in that conversation really soon. Saquon (Barkley) is a great running back, Jalen Hurts is that quarterback ... all around this team has these guys that you just obviously knew.

“It was a great experience, and now to be teaming up with these guys, going against these greats in practice, it's only iron sharpens iron. I want to do dirty work, I want to go against the best of the best,” he said, per the team.

Playing in Philadelphia is easy to be excited about for many players around the NFL. Not that other teams don't have any history, but the Eagles have had plenty of success recently .
