The Philadelphia Eagles don't have an immediate need at wide receiver. Still, the long-term outlook — especially with A.J. Brown's future always a talking point — makes this a position worth monitoring across all seven rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Philadelphia’s depth at wide receiver allows them to be patient, but history shows the Eagles are always thinking a year ahead. Whether it's a premium talent early or a high-upside player late, adding another weapon for Jalen Hurts would only strengthen an already dangerous offense heading into 2026 and beyond.

From first-round stars to late-round sleepers, here's one wide receiver the Eagles could target in every round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The second coming of Alshon Jeffery, Boston would certainly provide Philadelphia with a physical presence on the outside. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Boston hauled in 76.9% of his contested targets at Washington last year -- offering elite red zone production-- and led the Huskies with 20 touchdowns over his final two college seasons. He led the team with 881 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
