#1 need

I think it's pretty damn obvious that our main focus this offseason needs to be improving the pass rush. Brown back healthy will help but we still have absolutely nothing at edge rusher. Eagles just dominated a super bowl entirely because of an elite 4 man pass rush. Yeah we could use receivers, another corner, whatever but all of that should be secondary to pass rush.

 

I don't follow college much until looking at prospects closer to draft season -- who are some guys we could target in the first few rounds?

We need a LOT of fresh faces on defense. 

I actually feel pretty decent about our offensive roster. Yeah, a legit high level #1 WR would be awesome but let's be honest, there's only about 10 in the league at any given time. I liked what I saw out of Sanders down the stretch at TE after he looked like the hottest trash early on, Coker looks like a legit receiver and we'll see where he fits in on the depth chart going forward. Thielen is coming back and hopefully Country Grammar will be able to catch after getting his wrist fixed.

Eagles also hit home runs drafting DeJean and Mitchell plus have an elite #1 receiver 

They draft very very well. A lot of guys who needed some development started shining this year.  Nakobe Dean, Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis, all came through this season. Milton comes up big last night.  Teams keep letting top talent drop to them in R1 ha

Agreed. I mean as much as i would like to have a TMAC, G. Wilson, etc. i know that’s not the best route to building this roster, seeing as we don’t normally hit on those late round picks. Not to say that one 1st round defensive player will turn the entire defense around, but it sure would help to it to go defense in first couple rounds (hopefully first 3 rounds) + the likely money spent in free agency.

    • Then Dan Morgan should be on the hot seat. Wasting a first and second rounder in a pivotal year is unforgivable.
    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, (except Derrick Brown) including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they take someone like the OT from Boston College or Memphis.  Work with the OL coach (OT specialist) for a season.  I dunno
