While the Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC East once again in 2025, their lackluster passing game and early playoff exit left fans disappointed just one year after being crowned Super Bowl champions.
The 2026 NFL Draft will be even more important than most years. Armed with some extra picks, Philly needs to do a good job of reinforcing some of their biggest areas of need if they want to be taken seriously in an improved NFC.
The Eagles can look right at the Big Ten Conference for their 2026 Draft class, as they could theoretically build a raft consisting exclusively of players from this collection of schools.
Philadelphia Eagles All-Big Ten 2026 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 23: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Sadiq is the best tight end in a class that is very weak outside of him, and he could immediately give Philadelphia a long-term successor to Dallas Goedert whom Nick Sirianni can get creative with.
Round 2, Pick 54: Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana
With or without A.J. Brown, the Eagles need more wide receiver depth after Jahan Dotson failed to break out. Like Brown, Sarratt is a monster in contested catch situations.
Round 3, Pick 68: Kamari Ramsey, S, USC
Ramsey moves all around the defensive backfield, but he could profile as someone who could hang back in Vic Fangio's defense and create some turnovers in a way that Reed Blankenship has proven to be incapable of doing.
Round 3, Pick 98: Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan
With the size defensive coordinators want to see and the production that will alert the decision-makers, Moore profiles as a classic starting edge who could be a fairly even replacement for Josh Sweat.
Round 4, Pick 122: Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State
With Jordan Mailata taking a step back and Lane Johnson's injury problems popping up, a quality depth piece like Shelton could give Jalen Hurts some peace of mind.
Round 4, Pick 137: Jaishawn Barham, LB/EDGE, Michigan
Barham is a heavily discounted version of possible No. 2 pick Arvell Reese who can vacillate between two different positions, and that could be a worthwhile tool for Vic Fangio to play with.
Round 5, Pick 151: TJ Hall, CB, Iowa
Hall isn't going to blow anyone away with his athletic ability, but with his years of experience and experience in both man and zone, he stands out as one of the better corners on Day 3.

Round 5, Pick 179: Roman Hemby, RB, Indiana
Perhaps the more intriguing of the 1-2 Hoosier backfield punch that also featured Kaelon Black, Hemby could immediately compete for the RB2 job that Will Shipley has proven to be utterly incapable of fully holding on to.
