unCovering the Birds: How should the Eagles attack the draft?
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s resident draft expert Devin Jackson joins Jeff McLane to size up what general manager Howie Roseman might do with the Eagles’ eight picks, and whether the draft could spur any wheeling and dealing this weekend surrounding A.J. Brown.
The Eagles have a solid stash of draft picks (8) and, for a team just one season removed from winning the Super Bowl, a lot of positions that need to be addressed. Several elite members of the offensive line could be on the verge of retirement, while the wide receiver corps appears destined to lose a dynamic member. After bolstering the defense in the early rounds of the draft in recent years, will general manager Howie Roseman pivot this spring? The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Devin Jackson combine their reporting and analysis to forecast how the Eagles might attack the 2026 NFL Draft, which gets underway Thursday in Pittsburgh.
