NFL.com’s Chad Reuter predicted the Philadelphia Eagles to get two steals in the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Bleacher Report\u2019s Alex Ballentine detailed why tight end Kenyon Sadiq was the dream first-round 2026 NFL Draft pick for the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. In his newest NFL mock draft, though, NFL.com\u2019s Chad Reuter slotted Sadiq to the Carolina Panthers<\/a> at No. 19 overall.<\/p>\n The Eagles, though, hardly walked away with a consolation prize in Reuter\u2019s mock. At No. 23 overall, Reuter projected the Eagles to get USC wide receiver Makai Lemon.<\/p>\n \u201cRegardless of whether or not A.J. Brown stays in Philadelphia, the Eagles must fortify their receiver room,\u201d Reuter wrote<\/a>. \u201cLemon fits nicely in the slot and can flip spots with DeVonta Smith to give defenses different looks.\u201d<\/p>\n Then during the second round, Reuter slotted Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren to Philadelphia at No. 54 overall.<\/p>\n According to ESPN\u2019s Mel Kiper Jr.,<\/a> both Lemon and McNeil-Warren are top 3 prospects in the 2026 class at their respective positions.<\/p>\n Landing either one without a top 20 pick would be a steal. Getting both might go down in history as one of the top draft robberies ever in the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDave Holcomb<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL and MLB for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers and a variety of other NFL teams.
