The Philadelphia Eagles will start the night with three picks: No. 54 in Round 2, and Nos. 68 and 98 in Round 3.
Howie Roseman spoke about how they felt like Makai Lemon at No. 20 exceeded his value as someone they had as a Top 15 player. As such, the team felt comfortable trading two fourth picks to make the move, which proved beneficial given the Steelers assumed they were picking the wide receiver at No. 21.
Let’s have some fun!
[Stay tuned to Bleeding Green Nation for the latest updates regarding Eagles moves and others made around the league.]
UPDATES
[10:17 PM]: Well, that was quick! The Eagles got in and got out on Day 2, and wrapped things up with a Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni press conference around 10pm. (We’ll have that recap to you shortly!)

Some notables from the past hour:
-
NFC East went with WRs in the Round 3, including the Commanders selecting Clemson WR Antonio Williams at No. 71, and the Giants taking Notre Dame WR Malachi Williams at No. 74.
-
A few QBs came off the board in Round 3, including Miami QB Carson Beck to the Cardinals, and Penn State QB Drew Allar to the Steelers.
-
The Cowboys don’t have a Day 2 pick until late in the third round at No. 92.
[9:28 PM]: AND THE EAGLES FINALLY GET THEIR OFFENSIVE TACKLE! With the No. 68 overall pick, the Eagles select Miami OT Markel Bell.
[9:26 PM]: Life comes at you fast! The Eagles quickly turned around after picking Eli Stowers and finally made the trade with the Vikings to bring LB Jonathan Greenard to Philadelphia! Eagles gave up their second third round pick (No. 98) of the night in the trade, but are still about to be back on the clock at No. 68.

And with the No. 54 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select TE Eli Stowers out of Vanderbilt.
[8:23 PM]: Eagles are on the clock soon, unless they make a move back.
[8:00 PM]: It’ll be a different kind of brotherly love for the Trotter family with Jeremiah Trotter’s younger brother Josiah being drafted to the Bucs at No. 46 overall.
