Philadelphia Eagles fans are shifting gears to the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh after wrapping up the first wave of free agency. The team grabbed Hollywood Brown as a bargain, but stuck to one-year deals across the board. Now, a pro football-focused mock draft simulator shows how they might build for the long haul with picks starting at number 23 in the first round. Teens like the Eagles rely heavily on draft picks since most starters came that way or via trades. With branding Graham-Iing retirement and other spots opening up, the Sim prioritizes defense early. It hands them Auburn-Ed Russia-Keldred Falk at 23, a six-foot-six beast with 9-sacks over two years in versatile inside-out moves. Safety is a glaring need after losing reblenkenship, so round two at pick 54 brings LSU's AJ Halsey. His six-foot playmaker tallied interceptions at Houston in LSU, plus 88 tackles last

1:03season. He could pair perfectly with Andrew McCuba for a strong duo right away. Later rounds stock the offense with North Dakota Whiteout, Bryce Lance, brother of X-Eagle Trey, a speedy six-foot three receiver with over two, thousand yards in college. Iowa Center Logan Jones adds interior line depth amid questions for Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens. A surprise fourth round quarterback pick is LSU's Garrett Nussmeyer for developmental upside. The mock raps were tied in Justin Jolie from NC State, Penn State runner Nicholas Singleton, and corner Thaddeus Dickson from North Carolina. These moves aim to deepen the roster behind stars, like Sequan Barkley and Jalen Hertz, setting up contention for years ahead. This episode is supported by our sponsor, C Details in the Description.
