Eagles go all-in: Lemon leads bold 2026 draft with Stowers and Greenard adds

The moves bolster Philly’s offense and defense, reasserting their contender status, while questions linger about Stowers’ fit at tight end and how the rest of the roster will round out safety depth and other roles.

Eagles' 2026 Draft: Youth, Traits, and a Bold Long-Term Rebuild

Philadelphia used eight picks (plus a notable trade) to emphasize long-term upside over immediate help, led by Makai Lemon in Round 1 as a productive USC slot receiver with limited size, and followed by athletic tight end Eli Stowers, massive OT Markel Bell, and QB Cole Payton as a late-round developmental project. A trade brought Jonathan Greenard to upgrade the pass rush, with later picks including Micah Morris (OL), Cole Wisniewski (S), Uar Bernard (iDL) and Keyshawn James-Newby (EDGE) aiming for future depth and versatility. The class is execution-focused on youth and trait development rather than immediate impact, resulting in a final grade of B+.

49ers miss chance to pull Greenard trigger, may reshape their pass rush

During the NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired defensive end Jonathan Greenard from the Vikings for the 98th pick, a future third, and a four-year, $100 million contract with $50 million guaranteed, while the 49ers passed on a move using the 90th pick (later used on Kaelon Black) and a future third to land Greenard. The 49ers instead drafted Romello Height at 70, hoping he becomes an impact edge rusher; the piece argues San Francisco should have been more aggressive to add a proven pass rusher with Greenard’s 38 sacks in 77 games, and may regret not acting.

Vikings Trade Greenard to Eagles to Fix Salary Cap

Vikings Trade Greenard to Eagles to Fix Salary Cap

Facing a tight salary-cap situation, the Vikings traded Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles for two third-round picks and a new four-year, $100 million contract for Greenard. Interim GM Rob Brzezinski said the move was very difficult and driven largely by economics, noting Greenard's leadership and value but that cap realities forced reallocating resources. The deal frees about $12 million in cap space this year and roughly $22 million next year, while enabling third-year pass rusher Dallas Turner to grow; the return included the No. 98 pick used on Jakobe Thomas and a 2027 third-rounder. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he spoke with Greenard and wishes him well, emphasizing the decision was about financial constraints and fit rather than his value.

Eagles upgrade TE, OT on Day 2 and land Greenard in trade

On Day 2 the Eagles added tight end Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) at 54 and tackle Markel Bell (Miami) at 68, then traded two 2026 third-round picks and a 2027 seventh for edge defender Jonathan Greenard, who signed a four-year, $98 million deal. Stowers offers elite athleticism but needs blocker development; Bell provides rare size and versatility, potentially starting later if development goes well; Greenard could be a meaningful rush contributor if he returns to form. Grades given in the piece: Stowers B+, Bell B, Trade B.
