It's draft day, and unlike the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants, Philadelphia will pick at the back end of the first round. Their initial pick will come at No. 23 overall on night one.
The Eagles have nine selections in the 2026 NFL draft: Picks: Nos. 23, 54, 68, 98, 114, 137, 153, 178, 197, and could land more if Howie Roseman starts wheeling and dealing. For fans who aren't focused on where Fernando Mendoza, David Bailey, Arvell Reese, or Jeremiah Love may land, Philadelphia fans could have a lengthy first-round wait unless Howie Roseman moves up for a player he covets.
Philadelphia is on the clock at No. 23 overall as we enter Thursday, leaving fans and experts with a 23-pick wait thanks to another playoff berth and winning back-to-back NFC East crowns.
For fans and experts who are curious, we're examining the exact time each NFL team made the 23rd selection over the past five years:
The time between first-round selections has been shortened from 10 minutes to eight minutes. It’s the first timing adjustment since 2008, when the allotment dropped from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. The timing for Rounds 2-7 remains unchanged from last year.
