ESPN’s Jordan Reid reported wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is a player to watch in an aggressive first round trade up for the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> have a quality wide receiver room currently on their roster. But that\u2019s with former All-Pro A.J. Brown<\/a> as WR1, which might not be the case when the 2026 NFL<\/a> season begins.<\/p>\n For that reason, the Eagles are a candidate to select a receiver in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. ESPN\u2019s Jordan Reid suggested this week the team might even trade up for a wideout. Should that happen, Reid sees Arizona State\u2019s Jordyn Tyson as the target.<\/p>\n \u201cCircle the Eagles as a team that could get aggressive in trading up for a receiver. Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) is a player to watch, as he could still be on the board in the Nos. 17-20 range. GM Howie Roseman is notorious for drafting replacements for veterans a year in advance,\u201d wrote Reid<\/a>.<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Tyson as the top receiver and No. 7 overall prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft class. Kiper raved about Tyson\u2019s talent, particularly in the red zone.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Colorado transfer lit up defenses for two seasons with the Sun Devils. Tyson\u2019s superpower is being open even when it looks like he\u2019s completely blanketed,\u201d wrote Kiper<\/a>. \u201cIt makes him essentially uncoverable in the red zone. He wins on 50-50 balls and outmuscles defensive backs.<\/p>\n \u201cA hamstring injury<\/a> cost him time last season, but he still posted solid numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n Could Eagles Trade Up for Wide Receiver Such as Jordyn Tyson in 2026 NFL Draft? GettyESPN\u2019s Jordan Reid reported wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is a player to watch in an aggressive first round trade up for the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n The Eagles are one of the most aggressive teams in the NFL at trading up to fill a need. Anticipating a receiver need coming, Reid sees Philadelphia doing that this year for a receiver.<\/p>\n The question with Tyson, though, is how far the Eagles might have to move up to get him.<\/p>\n Kiper\u2019s No. 7 ranking for Tyson suggests it will take a mammoth blockbuster to get the Arizona State receiver. NFL Network\u2019s Daniel Jeremiah, though, has Tyson rated as the No. 21 prospect on his big board.<\/p>\n The Eagles hold the No. 23 overall pick in the first round. That could mean Philadelphia might not even need a trade up to get Tyson. But the Eagles may consider moving up a few spots to guarantee landing the wideout.<\/p>\n \u201cTyson is an explosive receiver with a lot of \u2018wow\u2019 plays littered throughout his tape,\u201d wrote Jeremiah. \u201cHe is a very fluid mover, and he incorporates a variety of releases and general creativity into his route-running.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the catch, he has some wiggle to make defenders miss and excellent speed to pull away. Durability was an issue throughout his college career \u2014 that\u2019s the only factor keeping him from a higher grade\/projection.\u201d<\/p>\n Why a Trade Up for a WR Might Not Be the Best Idea for Eagles Getty94WIP.com\u2019s Eliot Shorr-Parks warned that the Philadelphia Eagles shouldn\u2019t draft a wide receiver in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n Reid\u2019s report the Eagles are seriously considering an aggressive trade up the board was intriguing since 94WIP.com\u2019s Eliot Shorr-Parks in Philadelphia essentially argued for the team to do the opposite.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing to consider with the NFL Draft and the AJ Brown situation: The Eagles lose basically all trade leverage the second they take a wide receiver in the first round,\u201d wrote Shorr-Parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they take Boston\/Tyson at 23 or move up for Tate, that signals AJ is gone \u2014 and impacts the trade return.\u201d<\/p>\n One thing to consider with the NFL Draft and the AJ Brown situation: <\/p>\n Eagles lose basically all trade leverage the second they take a wide receiver in the first round <\/p>\n If they take Boston\/Tyson at 23 or move up for Tate that signals AJ is gone \u2014 and impacts the trade return<\/p>\n It\u2019s possible the Eagles have already decided they plan to trade Brown but won\u2019t do so until June 1. By waiting until then, the Eagles will save roughly $27 million against the 2026 salary cap according to Over the Cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n But by waiting, the Eagles are potentially in a precarious position. They need to add a wideout in the 2026 NFL Draft but do that without putting themselves in a situation where they have to trade Brown.<\/p>\n In that situation, the Eagles lose leverage in trade negotiations.<\/p>\n A trade up for a receiver could do that. Then again, if the Eagles love Tyson, they might not let trade negotiations from acquiring him.<\/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.
