The Eagles are heading to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis next week to meet draft prospects and watch them undergo athletic testing and on-field drills.
Philadelphia has eight picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and all of those selections could be participating in the combine. A few of the team’s draft decisions may ultimately be influenced by what unfolds during the workouts and meetings.
General manager Howie Roseman and his staff will evaluate all 319 combine invites and meet with many of them. Here are 10 names to watch who make sense for the Eagles:
T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
Parker could interest the Eagles if edge rusher Jaelan Phillips leaves in free agency. His draft range varies from late first to early-second-round.
At 6-3, 260 pounds, he uses his long arms and powerful hands to win up front, relying less on quickness or refined pass-rush moves. Strong, physical, defensive ends with length like Parker typically offer a high floor. He projects as a quality starter, but he must become more dynamic as a rusher to be a true difference-maker. His sack total dropped from 11 in 2024 to five this past season.

Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
The Eagles could draft Freeling as Lane Johnson’s successor and sit him as a rookie, which would be beneficial for his long-term development because he was a one-year starter at Georgia and still has to clean up his technique. If given the proper chance to develop, he could emerge as one of the best players from this draft.
He has rare size (6-7, 315 pounds) and elite athleticism, which he shows when he pulls to the second level to block linebackers. With that ability, he could become a run-blocking weapon. Freeling moves more like a tight end than an offensive tackle, and he should test well at the combine. By the time the draft rolls around, the Eagles may have to trade up from No. 23 into the top 20 to get ahead of other teams and select Freeling.
Freeling also flashes great potential as a pass blocker, using his long arms, quick footwork and pure athleticism to negate pass rushers. He would be an ideal fit for Philadelphia’s new outside-zone run scheme, which requires tackles to pull and make difficult blocks in space.

Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Add Iheanachor to the list of candidates who could eventually replace Johnson. The 6-6, 330-pound tackle has light and nimble feet, getting to the top side before rushers can bend the corner and reach the quarterback. His pass-protection skills are rare for someone who didn’t start playing football until college. He has room to grow as a run blocker — specifically needing to get stronger so he can play with more power — but his ceiling as a pass protector could make him a first-round pick.

Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
Fano is extremely tall (6-6) but also thin (308 pounds). He’s very athletic, beating rushers with good footwork, sliding to pick up stunts and pulling on run/pass plays to kick out edge rushers and defensive tackles. He could be a weapon, especially in an outside-zone run scheme. The Eagles would have to trade up in the first round to land him.

Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon
With right guard Tyler Steen’s contract set to expire after the 2026 season and left guard Landon Dickerson’s body wearing down from injuries, the Eagles need to draft a starting-caliber guard on Day 1 or Day 2 of the draft.
At 6-5, 318 pounds, Pregnon not only pushes defensive linemen around but also shows impressive athleticism. He reaches the second level, pulls on run plays and picks up stunts with ease. Still, it’s the physicality, anchor and power he plays with that separates him from other Day-2 guard prospects. He could be a key piece in reviving Philadelphia’s rushing offense.

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
The Eagles could draft Sadiq in the first round to replace impending free agent Dallas Goedert. The Oregon standout lines up from the slot and as an H-back, creating matchup problems for defenses. He gets open against slower safeties down the seam, turning those plays into touchdowns. Oregon found creative ways of getting him the ball to take advantage of his athleticism, and the Eagles could do the same. He’s also a solid blocker despite being undersized at 6-3, 245 pounds.

Max Klare, TE, Ohio State
Klare could become a better pro than college player. Over the last two years, the 6-5, 243-pound tight end has caught 94 passes for 1,173 yards and six touchdowns. He’s an explosive vertical threat and a decent blocker. The Eagles could target him on Day 2 to replace Goedert.

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
If the Eagles trade star wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, they could target Boston as his replacement.
Boston is a jump-ball expert, pulling down contested catches for touchdowns, and he also wins over the middle with efficient route running. He is a smooth mover at 6-4, 209 pounds, and he should have no problem creating separation against NFL defensive backs. In 2025, he snagged 62 catches for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana
After the catch, Cooper breaks tackles like a running back. At 6-0, 204 pounds, he’s built like one too.
He also possesses the route-running skills, short-area quickness and explosive downfield ability of a top-tier starting NFL wide receiver.
Next season, Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could move Cooper all over the formation to maximize his skill set.

KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
An undersized 5-11, 190-pound wide receiver, Concepcion is a deep threat with elite speed and creates separation on slants, crossers and other short-field routes. He gets in and out of his breaks quickly and wins at the top of the route with a crafty release, making it difficult for cornerbacks to stay in phase against him.
He has good instincts against zone coverage, finding open spaces to help his quarterback make easy throws. When the play breaks down, he does a good job of running to an open spot.
Concepion had some bad drops on tape — an area he must clean up to reach his full potential. He’s projected to get picked in the late-first or early-second-round.
