The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2026 NFL Draft with flexibility and intrigue surrounding pick No. 23, and league experts are split on how the board could fall. Some evaluators believe Philadelphia will prioritize the trenches, targeting an offensive tackle who could potentially contribute immediately while also preparing for future roster turnover. Others see the Eagles capitalizing on positional runs — particularly at tackle — which could push a high-end edge rusher or wide receiver into their range. In that scenario, Philadelphia would once again benefit from patience, landing a player with top-15 talent without having to move up.

Over the three days, there's growing sentiment that general manager Howie Roseman could deviate entirely from expectations. Several experts point to the Eagles' history of draft-day trades, suggesting a move up for a targeted player or a trade back to accumulate future assets remains firmly on the table. With roster depth already in place and additional picks available, Philadelphia is positioned to adapt to whatever unfolds. Whether the Eagles stay put, move up, or trade back, the consensus among experts is clear: expect the unexpected when Philadelphia is on the clock at No. 23.
