The Philadelphia Eagles prepare for the 2026 NFL draft with nine total picks, including the No. 23 selection in Round 1. ESPN's Tim McManus provides the latest intel on the team's draft strategy as the April 23 event approaches. The Eagles brass faces important decisions about which positions to address and which prospects to target with their selections across the seven rounds.

Backup quarterback Tanner McKee has drawn trade interest once again as the draft looms. The 6-foot-6 McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023, has impressed with five touchdowns to one interception. Philadelphia added Andy Dalton in March, giving general manager Howie Roseman flexibility as McKee enters the final year of his rookie contract with the team.

Roseman values the quarterback depth, stating having three capable signal-callers provides "incredible security" for the organization. The Eagles' front office must balance potential trade offers for McKee while maintaining roster strength. With the draft just weeks away, Philadelphia's approach could significantly impact their 2026 season outlook.
