Eagles’ 3-Round Mock Draft Addresses Roseman’s Overlooked Issues

Addressing the Eagles’ Needs in the 2026 NFL Draft

Despite being one of the most dominant teams in the NFL over the past decade, the Philadelphia Eagles have several challenges they need to tackle in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. There are veteran players on the roster that Howie Roseman can no longer overlook, and the team needs to find replacements for key starters. Additionally, the Eagles are entering April with some uncertainty in their starting lineup.

With no games scheduled this coming Sunday, the Eagles have a valuable opportunity to address their most pressing needs by selecting from a strong group of prospects at their most vulnerable positions. This three-round mock draft aims to tackle exactly what the Eagles require most in the top three rounds.

First Round: Finding Lane Johnson’s Replacement

Round 1 | 23rd overall: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

After a few years without selecting a first-round offensive tackle, Howie Roseman is returning to his usual strategy in this year’s draft. It will be unusual to see someone other than Jeff Stoutland coaching the offensive line, but the Eagles have a significant need for a developmental starter at the tackle position.

Kadyn Proctor from Alabama could be the perfect fit. Roseman has a history of valuing players from Alabama and Georgia programs, making Proctor a natural choice. Proctor is also one of the most athletic offensive linemen available. He can step in as a guard immediately and eventually take over for Lane Johnson when the time comes.

Second Round: Replacing Dallas Goedert

Round 2 | 54th overall: Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt

The Eagles managed to bring back Dallas Goedert for another season, but it feels like a final chapter for him. The question remains: who will be the team’s tight end of the future? Potential candidates include Kenyon Sadiq from Oregon or Eli Stowers from Vanderbilt.

If the Eagles can secure a long-term replacement like Kadyn Proctor in the first round, following it up with a unique talent like Eli Stowers at tight end would be ideal. This approach could provide a solid foundation for both the short and long term, especially in replacing key franchise legends.

Third Round: Adding a Playmaker at Safety

Round 3 | 68th overall: AJ Haulcy, SAF, LSU

The Eagles need another playmaker at the safety position to complement Andrew Mukuba after the departure of Reed Blankenship to the Texans. LSU’s AJ Haulcy stands out as a promising prospect.

Haulcy was a ball-hawking safety in college, intercepting eight passes over the last two seasons. He possesses impressive size and athleticism, and his physical style of play evokes memories of past greats like Donte Whitner. This kind of player could add excitement to an already talented secondary in Philadelphia.

Final Pick: A Big-Body Wide Receiver

Round 3 | 98th overall: Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State

Adding a big-bodied wide receiver to the Eagles’ top 100 picks would be the perfect finishing touch. Bryce Lance, the brother of former third overall pick Trey Lance, is a standout athlete with serious NFL potential.

At 6-foot-3 and 204 pounds, Lance ran a blazing 4.34-second 40-yard dash and had a 41.5-inch vertical jump. His 1.49-second 10-yard split is incredibly fast. If he can develop NFL-level strength, he could become a star.
