Five college prospects who could interest the Eagles in the 2026 NFL Draft

I gotta say, if Philly wants a speedy edge rusher, Nadame Tucker's skills are on point . 12 sacks in 12 games? That's crazy! But, I'm not sure about the limited playing time last year. Can he maintain that production when he gets more snaps?

And Terrance Carter Jr.'s got some impressive stats too! 530 yards and 5 touchdowns in one season? He's definitely a threat at tight end . The Eagles need to address this position, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to snag him with their current draft strategy.

Yhonzae Pierre's on my radar now . That Alabama defensive end is making some plays! If he decides to go pro early, Philly would be a great fit for him. And Caleb Downs? Ultra-instinctive safety who sees plays before they happen? I love it . The Eagles need that kind of football IQ.

Omar Cooper Jr.'s got some sweet hands, but is he reliable enough to make a significant impact on day three? Philly needs to upgrade their receiving corps, so this guy's definitely worth keeping an eye on

im loving all these players but i gotta say eagles need to prioritize speed at receiver lol they been slow with big catches all season can't have them playing 4th quarter hero with a guy who can get open quickly also, downs would be amazing addition but lets see if eagles can keep him around after free agency

I'm getting hyped for the 2026 NFL Draft! The Eagles are definitely in need of some fresh talent, especially at tight end since they didn't pick up anyone undrafted last year . I think Terrance Carter Jr. would be a great addition - his receiving skills and run-after-catch ability are unmatched . And can we talk about how excited I am for the possibility of Caleb Downs joining the team? His football IQ is insane, and it would be amazing to see him play alongside Reed Blankenship . Let's hope one of these speedy Edge Rushers makes their way to Philly too - Nadame Tucker sounds like a beast!

I'm loving this draft speculation thread - Tucker and Pierre both have that "tweener" edge rusher profile that could get them high on the Eagles' board ... but I think Carter Jr.'s production is what's gonna seal the deal for him, you feel? The Eagles need a game-changer at tight end, and if they can snag one with some receiving chops, it's a win-win . Downs is definitely an interesting pick too - that ultra-instinctive safety playmaking ability would be huge in Philly's system ... but what I'm most hyped about is Cooper Jr.'s ceiling - the dude has some serious hands and can make plays in space . We're gonna see who gets picked first, that's for sure

I'm so over how these NFL teams are just relying on guys with 'potential' . Nadame Tucker is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get. Limited playing time last year, but he's still got the size and skill to compete? Give me some concrete numbers instead of just hype. And don't even get me started on Terrance Carter Jr. - 43 catches for 530 yards is nice, but how many games did he actually play a significant part in?
