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.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a quality wide receiver room currently on their roster. But that’s with former All-Pro A.J. Brown as WR1, which might not be the case when the 2026 NFL season begins.
For that reason, the Eagles are a candidate to select a receiver in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Jordan Reid suggested this week the team might even trade up for a wideout. Should that happen, Reid sees Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson as the target.
“Circle 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,” wrote Reid.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Tyson as the top receiver and No. 7 overall prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft class. Kiper raved about Tyson’s talent, particularly in the red zone.
“The Colorado transfer lit up defenses for two seasons with the Sun Devils. Tyson’s superpower is being open even when it looks like he’s completely blanketed,” wrote Kiper. “It makes him essentially uncoverable in the red zone. He wins on 50-50 balls and outmuscles defensive backs.
“A hamstring injury cost him time last season, but he still posted solid numbers.”
