The Philadelphia Eagles possess the No. 23 overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, but with needs to address, especially on offense, they’ve been urged to try to trade up in the draft by ESPN’s Bill Barnwell.
Barnwell thinks that in order to secure a solid prospect on the offensive line or at wide receiver, the Eagles would be wise to try to make a move.
“Roseman has to start thinking about what the future looks like on offense now. At No. 23, he's stuck behind teams that could be thinking offensive tackle, including the Panthers at 19, Cowboys at 20 and Steelers at 21. Moving up ahead of them might be necessary to get Johnson's long-term replacement on the right side,” Barnwell wrote.
“There isn't the same sort of hunger for a wide receiver immediately ahead of the Eagles, but the teams right behind Philly (the Browns, Bears, Bills and 49ers) could try to jump Roseman to get that wideout, which might necessitate the longtime general manager beating his rivals to the punch. “
