An Eagles-focused roundup highlights a 2026 NFL mock draft that places Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in Philadelphia via a trade, illustrating Howie Roseman’s leverage; it also reports the Packers’ Dontayvion Wicks being traded to the Eagles to boost the WR corps, a move with potential implications for AJ Brown and the team’s draft plans, plus related chatter and events surrounding Philly.
The Jets, owning picks 2 and 16 in the 2026 first round, may trade up or back as the draft nears. A recent Eagles move to acquire Dontayvion Wicks has Philly positioned to target a top receiver at 23, potentially triggering a Jets-Eagles deal that could net draft capital — including possible 2027 picks and a 2026 third-rounder — while the Jets weigh adding playmakers for a year they aren’t expected to contend in. Prospects like Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson could influence any trade talks.
Green Bay traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 153) and a 2027 sixth-rounder, plus Wicks’s one-year extension with the Eagles through 2027. The move creates about $2.6 million in salary-cap space (roughly $25 million now) and frees up room to extend players like Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, or Tucker Kraft. Wicks’ 2025 production was modest (30 receptions, 332 yards, 2 TDs), though he had a standout Thanksgiving game against Detroit. With Wicks out, Matthew Golden’s opportunities should rise in Year 2, and Green Bay adds eight picks this year (one each in the second, third, fourth, sixth rounds and two in the fifth and seventh rounds) plus a 2027 sixth-rounder, strengthening Gutekunst’s draft capital while leaving no current first-round pick due to past trades.
Green Bay is trading wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for a pair of Day 3 picks (2026 fifth-round and 2027 sixth-round) and is signing him to a one-year, $12.5 million extension. Wicks leaves a crowded Packers WR room amid a career-low 2025 season, while the Eagles add depth behind stars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith ahead of the draft, continuing a recent pattern of pre-season receiver acquisitions.
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, with Wicks signing a one-year extension. The move, aided by Wicks’ familiarity with Eagles OC Sean Mannion, signals potential plans if A.J. Brown is traded after June 1 and could position Wicks as a potential No. 2 receiver behind DeVonta Smith.
A Pro Football Focus seven-round mock for the 2026 NFL Draft projects no trades for the Eagles, headlined by Spencer Fano at 1.23 to bolster tackle, with late‑round adds at safety, WR, CB and edge—including A.J. Haulcy, Skylar Bell, Daylen Everette, Anthony Lucas, Zane Durant, Max Llewelyn, Tanner Koziol and Adam Randall.
The piece identifies six plausible first-round targets for the Philadelphia Eagles: four offensive tackles (Monroe Freeling, Kadyn Proctor, Olaivavega Ioane, Blake Miller), two wide receivers (Jordyn Tyson, Omar Cooper), and discusses how fit, upside, and risk—along with potential trade-up needs—could shape a late-first-round pick, all anchored to The Athletic's consensus big board.
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the article outlines a single, crucial goal for each NFC team—ranging from boosting the pass rush and fortifying the interior line to adding playmaking weapons—to create a focused, team-by-team plan across seven rounds.
A Philadelphia Eagles seven-round mock uses Dane Brugler’s The Beast as the draft board, projecting Caleb Lomu (OT, Utah) at No. 23, then Antonio Williams (WR, Clemson) at 54, Eli Stowers (TE, Vanderbilt) at 68, Markell Bell (OT, Miami) at 98, LT Overton (edge, Alabama) at 114, Tacario Davis (CB, Washington) at 137, Michael Taaffe (S, Texas) at 153, Jeff Caldwell (WR, Cincinnati) at 178, and Kendal Daniels (LB, Oklahoma) at 197, among others, illustrating a plan centered on upside, versatility, and positional depth across rounds.
A Bleeding Green Nation writer ranks 19 wide receivers for the 2026 NFL Draft, organizing them into tiers and round projections with a clear emphasis on Eagles’ needs and scheme fit; it highlights top targets like Carnell Tate (Tier 1) and Makai Lemon (Tier 2), along with other intriguing prospects (Tyson, Concepcion, Cooper Jr., Boston, Bernard, Bell, Branch, etc.), and notes medical/competition concerns that could affect draft position. The core takeaway is to evaluate by tier and fit rather than fixating on exact order.
With the draft three weeks away, this roundup surveys mocks that go beyond the first 32 picks, focusing on Philadelphia’s potential paths: a first-round tight end (Kenyon Sadiq) in one scenario, Day 2-3 options like EDGE Derrick Moore, safety Zakee Wheatley, and OT Dametrious Crownover, plus speculative trades (Ioane, Faulk) to move up or shore up other spots, illustrating a chaotic, multi-path approach to upgrading Philly’s roster after a busy free‑agency period.
Howie Roseman reiterated that A.J. Brown remains on the Eagles’ roster despite trade chatter, while outlining a plan to add speed at receiver, bolster safety depth (not expecting a first-round pick), praised Arnold Ebiketie, confirmed Andy Dalton as QB3, and stressed cap-space flexibility to act quickly on opportunities while protecting core players.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman repeatedly stated that A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles, brushing off trade questions as speculation while post-June 1 trade talk lingers; the team has added WRs Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to bolster the group, and Brown’s recent production keeps him central to the chatter.
