It seems like the Philadelphia Eagles are an every-other-year type of team. They've gone one and done in the playoffs in 2021, 2023, and 2025, but won the Super Bowl in 2024 and made it to the Super Bowl in 2022. It's quite the trend thus far, and much of it boils down to the revolving door at the offensive coordinator spot.

Shane Steichen and Kellen Moore were the OCs during the Eagles two Super Bowl trips, but the other men who have held the job just did not perform well, but part of this is absolutely on the QB, Jalen Hurts. The veteran is a very limited passer who really isn't someone who can be a consistent, drop back QB at the NFL level.

There are serious limitations to Hurts' game, and I would not be shocked if the Eagles front office takes those concerns more seriously. Let's get into a 2026 NFL Mock Draft where Philly shockingly brings in some competition for Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia Eagles 7-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft

33. TJ Parker, EDGE, Clemson

The Philadelphia Eagles are always going to field a top-notch defense as long as Vic Fangio is in the building, but they did lose Milton Williams and Josh Sweat in free agency last year and could use a bit of a boost along the defensive line.

The DL is also an area that GM Howie Roseman has always prioritized, so make no mistake, the team will come away with a top EDGE player at some point in the NFL Draft, and they get it out of the way immediately with TJ Parker from Clemson.

54. Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, USC

Ja'Kobi Lane could step into a WR room that doesn't have AJ Brown, as I get the sense that Philly would move Brown for the right price this offseason. The vocal WR sometimes became a distraction, and the fit within the offense just isn't there anymore.

68. Carson Beck, QB, Miami (FL)

Carson Beck at pick 68 for the Eagles might send the fanbase into a frenzy, but I do wonder what Eagles fans thought when the team took Jalen Hurts in the second round with Carson Wentz still the unquestioned starter? Philly has long been looked at as a QB factory, and with the way this offense is up and down each year, it might be time to begin thinking about the future.

98. Michael Trigg, TE, Baylor

Michael Trigg leaves a bit of meat on the bone as a blocker, but most college tight ends coming into the NFL do this. The Eagles could use a more long-term replacement at TE.

122. Austin Barber, OT, Florida

Austin Barber could be a nice developmental tackle prospect and another player the Eagles pick in the trenches. Along with the defensive line, Howie Roseman has always spilled a ton of resources into the offensive line as well.

137. Tim Keenan III, DT, Alabama

Tim Keenan from Alabama has 12.5 career tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. He's a depth piece along the defensive line for Philly and the second pick in a row where the Eagles invest in the trenches.

151. Bud Clark, S, TCU

In college for a whopping six years, Bud Clark brings 61 games of collegiate experience into the NFL and finished his college career with 15 interceptions, 214 total tackles, and 21 passes defended. You'd have to think that all of that time in college could help Clark transition rather quickly into the NFL.

179. Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn

Keyron Crawford has 47 games of experience in college and 24 career tackles for loss. He's the Eagles last pick in this mock draft, a draft where the trenches and the long-term future were clearly prioritized.
