Mandatory Credit: Mark Konezny-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and it\u2019s proving to be a pivotal one for Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of questions remain about the future of certain veterans, and clear roster holes are still apparent on both sides of the football for the Birds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The A to Z Sports NFL mock draft simulator offers a deeply customizable and data-driven experience with never-before-seen features.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft-simulator.atozsports.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Try the mock draft simulator today,<\/a>\u00a0before the 2026 NFL Draft arrives!<\/p>\n<p>23. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future of A.J. Brown remains murky. While head coach Nick Sirianni has a lot of faith in Devonta Smith as a bonafide WR1, the depth would still be a huge concern at WR for the Eagles if they move Brown after the draft. <\/p>\n<p>Boston is a big-body wideout who creates more separation than many people think. As a clear two in an NFL offense, he can take advantage of matchups and be a key piece to the red zone plan for Jalen Hurts\u2019 passing game as a rookie and beyond. <\/p>\n<p>54. A.J. Haulcy, Safety, LSU<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safety is a major need on the defense, potentially the biggest one when it comes to starting talent. Haulcy is a productive playmaker on the back end and holds a ton of college experience at multiple power programs. <\/p>\n<p>He can step into a role alongside Andrew Mukuba and some veteran depth for Vic Fangio.<\/p>\n<p>68. Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Height is some fun value here as a clear-cut high floor prospect at a position of need for Philly. They added a player with some exciting upside in Arnold Ebiketie off the edge, but they need to do more. I was tempted to go pass rusher even earlier than this, but it worked out effectively for the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">David Bailey gets most of the attention on Texas Tech\u2019s defense, but Romello Height isn\u2019t far behind him imo.<\/p>\n<p>4th highest pressure rate (23.5%) &amp; 3rd fastest avg time to pressure in the FBS (2.9s) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uqj9x2L0nw\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/uqj9x2L0nw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 James Foster (@NoFlagsFilm) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NoFlagsFilm\/status\/1977868993923776914?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>98. Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A long-term answer at tackle once Lane Johnson retires is a premise that the Birds will have to think about during this year\u2019s draft. Taking one in the first round hinders how  much impact your premium pick would have as a rookie \u2013 especially when your\u2019re trying to contend for a Super Bowl. <\/p>\n<p>Shelton has the frame and characteristics to play tackle a long time in the pros, but he\u2019s still got a bridge of development to cross. Philly can help him manage that. <\/p>\n<p>114. Bryce Boettcher, LB, Oregon<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boettcher plays with his hair on fire. The Eagles linebacker room is a bit more unproven with the departure of Nakobe Dean, so targeting one sometime late on day two or early day three makes plenty of sense. <\/p>\n<p>137. Landon Robinson, DT, Navy<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robinson has gotten more buzz in recent weeks, and this spot may not be early enough. In this scenario, though, he lands in Philly where he does not have to be thrust into a huge role as a rookie. He can learn from some of the best in the business to start his pro career. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you feel about this class for Philadelphia?
