Brown, tackle Lane Johnson, guard Landon Dickerson and a host of pending free agents are uncertain. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BFCTD4RRTJGJRCYXBUGDGHEZ54\">General manager Howie Roseman can go in a lot of different directions. That will make the NFL Scouting Combine, which kicks off in a couple of weeks, fascinating to say the least. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZR6GH5BEJVB3ZHXTYQ5ZSWP4PQ\">Let\u2019s take a look at who post-Super Bowl mock drafts have the Eagles selecting in the first round when the 2026 NFL draft rolls around in April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZIC3X3ILTBGUHF3AGJ3UWP5JYY\">Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/mcshay-report.beehiiv.com\/p\/mock-draft-2-0-a-mendoza-raiders-marriage-the-jets-edge-and-more-round-1-predictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/mcshay-report.beehiiv.com\/p\/mock-draft-2-0-a-mendoza-raiders-marriage-the-jets-edge-and-more-round-1-predictions\">The Ringer\u2019s Todd McShay<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"DP4U24OGVZHQJC7Q4UNRHOWE6A\">\u201cFaulk is one of the youngest prospects in the class and he\u2019s still developing as a pass rusher, as his lack of production indicates. But there\u2019s so much to like about his natural movement skills for his size (6-foot-6, 285 pounds). <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"KUJ4VYU4XJEE7CAXVDMK4BHXAM\">\u201cHowie Roseman can\u2019t get enough pass rushers and he\u2019s not afraid to take a shot on a player who isn\u2019t quite a finished product. Faulk would bring size and power (he\u2019s reportedly squatted 700 pounds) versus the run immediately. And Philly is the type of place where he would have the tutelage and time to eventually grow to his full potential as a pass rusher.\u201d \u2014 McShay<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"XGI4IBAAAVAF3HBLUZDQ7Y2API\">Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/draft\/news\/post-super-bowl-2026-nfl-mock-draft-first-round-projection-final-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/draft\/news\/post-super-bowl-2026-nfl-mock-draft-first-round-projection-final-order\/\">CBS Sports\u2019 Mike Renner<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"6HG5QQ6KIFAGBJMTVDL2DSYJLI\">\u201cEven if the Eagles re-sign Dallas Goedert, Sadiq makes sense with the rise of two-tight-end sets leaguewide. He\u2019s the perfect complementary tight end with elite athleticism and the ability to block in space. His run-game impact could be as valuable as what he provides as a receiver.\u201d \u2014 Renner<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"F44WIY2WIVEK7D7TDH3TEAILGA\">Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/news\/2026-nfl-mock-draft-fernando-mendoza-jeremiyah-love-ty-simpson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/news\/2026-nfl-mock-draft-fernando-mendoza-jeremiyah-love-ty-simpson\">NBC Sports\u2019 Connor Rogers<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZAXW3GVDBNCF7ILKXB7ZAIWXUY\">\u201cThere are a lot of questions around the Eagles offense right now. Dallas Goedert will be a free agent when the new league year opens and while things seem more positive around A.J. Brown, Philadelphia could be looking for pass-catching help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"UZNCLHDMANDRDFCTMQ6UDTGVRA\">\u201cEnter Sadiq, one of the better athletes you will ever see at the tight end position. He\u2019s lethal off manufactured touches, can challenge the seam and showed the right demeanor as a blocker on the move in 2025.\u201d \u2014 Rogers<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7LMWMGXEBJBHNACD2HT4JI3NT4\">Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7021113\/2026\/02\/09\/nfl-mock-draft-2026-fernando-mendoza-quarterbacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7021113\/2026\/02\/09\/nfl-mock-draft-2026-fernando-mendoza-quarterbacks\/\">The Athletic\u2019s Nick Baumgardner<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"DFV2RXUPQ5E2HKP72EF5SYXL5Y\">\u201cThis feels too perfect, so it probably won\u2019t happen. It wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see a team in the top 20 \u2014 maybe even the top 15 \u2014 pull the trigger on Sadiq, whose potential as a three-down, scheme-proof, playmaking tight end is elite. He could become Jalen Hurts\u2019 (and Saquon Barkley\u2019s) new best friend.&#8221; \u2014\u00a0Baumgardner<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZDVN3P63WFCLZH2VB3UUZMBDO4\">Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State (No. 18 overall, trade w\/ Vikings) \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=126006X1587341&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=jmcgonig%7C&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nfl.com%2Fnews%2Fthree-round-2026-nfl-mock-draft-jets-land-impact-defender-qb-in-round-1&amp;product_category=Sporting+Goods%3EAthletics%3EAmerican+Football\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/three-round-2026-nfl-mock-draft-jets-land-impact-defender-qb-in-round-1\">NFL.com\u2019s Chad Reuter<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"INVUEX36MZEK7NOCPDT4T6HQKI\">\u201cAfter a brief pause in 2024, Howie Roseman got back to trading first-round picks last year. He sticks to that habit by sending a late third- and fourth-round pick to the Vikings so he can snag another big-play machine for an Eagles offense that disappointed in 2025. Tyson dealt with multiple injuries at the college level but could prove to be a steal here, thanks to his ability to win downfield.\u201d \u2014 Reuter<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/philadelphiaeagles\/2026\/02\/eagles-make-crucial-coaching-hire-after-losing-legendary-coach.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eagles make crucial coaching hire after losing legendary assistant<\/a>Feb. 9, 2026, 11:29a.m.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/eagles\/2026\/02\/nfl-mock-draft-2026-eagles-replace-star-with-dynamic-weapon-giants-make-big-trade-to-boost-offense.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL mock draft 2026: Giants make big trade for offense; Eagles replace star with new weapon<\/a>Feb. 9, 2026, 5:00a.m.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/nation-world\/2026\/02\/ex-philadelphia-eagle-super-bowl-winning-db-killed-in-house-fire-at-62.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ex-Philadelphia Eagles DB, Super Bowl winner, killed in house fire at 62<\/a>Feb. 8, 2026, 5:11p.m.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/tv\/2026\/02\/where-to-watch-super-bowl-60-patriots-vs-seahawks-free-tonight-during-nbc-and-fubotv-dispute.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Where to watch Super Bowl 60, Patriots vs. Seahawks free tonight during NBC and FuboTV dispute<\/a>Feb. 8, 2026, 3:47p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Super Bowl is over, and the focus has now fully shifted to the 2026 NFL draft.
