The Philadelphia Eagles certainly have their fill of needs they need to address on the roster, but if the general manager could fill a need while picking up a player from his college, the University of Georgia, in the 2026 NFL Draft, it's a win-win situation for Roseman.
Many draft experts have the Eagles going after an offensive tackle in the first round of the draft as they plan for life without Lane Johnson at right tackle. Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski released his latest mock draft, where he has the Eagles taking Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling with the 23rd pick.
"Lane Johnson may be returning for his 14th season, but the Philadelphia Eagles can't be entirely content with their veteran-laden offensive line going into the 2026 campaign. Georgia's Monroe Freeling is a perfect investment in a prospect with immense growth potential for a team that doesn't need him to play right out of the gate."
Eagles projected to select Monroe Freeling in mock draft
Freeling had a solid final season with the Bulldogs, as he did not allow a quarterback hit and just two sacks in 390 pass blocking snaps. Pro Football Focus graded him out at a 71.2 overall, ranking 80th out of 629 tackles in the nation.
While Freeling is considered to be one of the most polished pass blockers in the draft, his run blocking leaves a lot to be desired, as he must improve there. That's why sitting behind Johnson for one year would be beneficial for Freeling to learn the ropes and see how a Hall of Fame lineman looks on the field.
Meanwhile, in Sobleski's mock draft, he added a second round where he has the Eagles taking Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston with the 54th overall pick. A slow 40 time at the NFL Combine has dropped Boston's stock a bit, but the Eagles won't mind, as he still makes for a perfect WR3 on the offense with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown.

The Eagles would get a little bit of everything in the first two rounds as they focus on getting the offense younger.
