Posted April 17Apr 17 Starting with Grok:Grok’s 2026 Philadelphia Eagles Mock Draft (as of April 17, 2026)The Eagles hold eight picks and enter the draft with clear priorities: edge rusher (after losing Jaelan Phillips and Josh Sweat), offensive line (Lane Johnson succession planning and interior depth), and tight end (long-term insurance behind Dallas Goedert). I built this full Eagles-only mock using the latest big boards, pre-draft visits, and scheme fit under the new offensive system. I prioritized high-floor trench players and athletic mismatches early, then added depth and special-teams contributors later. No trades simulated—just the picks they currently own.Round 1, Pick 23: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia6'7", 315 lbs — Elite athleticism and movement skills for a zone-heavy scheme. High-upside bookend who can develop behind Lane Johnson while providing immediate swing tackle value.Round 2, Pick 54: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon6'3", 241 lbs — Freakish athlete (4.39 speed) with plus blocking and mismatch receiving ability. Immediate two-tight-end weapon who stretches the field vertically.Round 3, Pick 68: Denzel Boston, WR, WashingtonBig, explosive outside receiver with strong hands and contested-catch ability. Adds a true vertical threat and insurance amid A.J. Brown trade speculation.Round 3, Pick 98: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, MiamiThick, powerful rusher with a violent hand set. Rotational pass-rush piece who can grow into a starter opposite Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt.Round 4, Pick 114: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, ToledoRangy coverage safety with excellent instincts and length. Perfect modern NFL fit to replace departures in the secondary and contribute on special teams.Round 4, Pick 137: Peter Woods, DL, USCDisruptive interior lineman with quick first step and power. Provides depth and rotational pressure alongside the existing defensive line group.Round 5, Pick 178: Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&MMassive, nasty interior lineman (6'5"+, 330+ lbs) with guard/center versatility. Stoutland project who adds immediate depth and long-term starting potential.Round 6, Pick 197: Daylen Everette, CB, GeorgiaPhysical, long outside corner with good press-man traits. Projected backup and core special-teams contributor.This mock balances the trenches (three offensive linemen, two edge/defensive line pieces) with skill-position upgrades while staying true to Howie Roseman’s history of value-driven drafting. It leaves the Eagles with a stronger offensive line, a dynamic new tight end, added pass-rush depth, and secondary help—all without reaching. The 2026 draft (starting April 23 in Pittsburgh) should be fun for Philly fans! If you want me to adjust for a specific philosophy (e.g., more aggressive on edge or trade-up scenarios), just say the word.https://x.com/i/grok/share/c1f36ff5e42f47c68d9a0011f94e8033
April 17Apr 17 Author Chat GPT (much weaker)Here’s a Philadelphia Eagles–only 2026 NFL Mock Draft, built around roster needs, typical front-office tendencies under Howie Roseman, and value-based drafting philosophy (trenches, versatility, SEC/Big Ten pipeline).🦅 Philadelphia Eagles 2026 Mock DraftRound 1 (Pick ~25–32): EDGE – Dani Dennis-SuttonSchool: Penn StateWhy: The Eagles never stop investing in pass rush.

IS Ai HAVING A BAD DAY?🤣I would tend to agree, but none of us thought Dean would fall to us in round 3 either. TEs and ILBs can be hard to really predict. Many have the talent or grade to go on day 1, but teams tend to prioritize other positions. Combine that with the better teams picking later in each round and potentially already having good starters at those positions.
