The Eagles selected eight players in the 2026 NFL draft, with Howie Roseman getting tremendous value with his first four picks. Value is an integral part of the draft process. Understanding the board is vital to judging how teams maximized value during the draft. Establishing actual “value” on NFL draft prospects is incredibly difficult, with all 32 NFL teams having different schemes, cultures, and ideas of what elite talent looks like.
Arif Hasan of Wide Left Football creates the go-to consensus board, ranking the top 300 players in the draft class based on 101 big boards from draft analysts. As Hasan noted, “the consensus of these experts does a better predictive job than individual experts.”
With the draft now final, here are Philadelphia's picks, consensus rank, pick number, and the difference between the two.
Considered one of the top pass catchers in the draft, Lemon was the third wide receiver selected and went eight picks later than he was ranked.
The second-best tight end on the board, Stowers went four higher than he was ranked, signifying the value he had on the Eagles' draft board.
The Eagles aren't known to reach, but landed the giant offensive tackle 48 spots higher than expected.
A player who can do some thinking, he'd be a potential third or fourth round pick. Payton fell into the Eagles' lap, highlighting the value Philadelphia had to secure.
Philadelphia felt strongly about Morris' unique intangibles and landed the former Georgia offensive guard some 14 picks before his expected draft rank.
A talented safety who could replicate Reed Blankenship's rise, Wisniewski fell into the Eagles' lap late in round seven.
A 300+ pound defensive player who can run faster than running backs, the International Pathway Program pick was scooped up by Philadelphia in the seventh round when most prognosticators didn't have him on draft boards.
The talented edge rusher was projected as an undrafted free agent; instead, he'll join the Eagles as a seventh-round pick.
