Looking at 25 options for Eagles on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft

The Eagles moved up three spots on Thursday night to draft receiver Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick.

With that trade-up, the Eagles gave away both of their fourth-round picks and are scheduled to have just five more total. Although, Howie Roseman is always willing to make more moves.

For now, the Eagles are scheduled to have three picks on Friday: No. 54 in the second round and Nos. 68 and 98 in the third round.

Here are 25 options for Day 2:

Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State: The Eagles don’t draft a ton of Penn State players but Dennis-Sutton (6-6, 256) would be a nice complement in their edge rusher room. He has the frame and athleticism the Eagles should like and he had 8 1/2 sacks in each of the last two seasons. He also tested very well in the pre-draft process and visited the Jefferson Health Training Complex.

Zion Young, Edge, Missouri: Young (6-6, 267) is another big-bodied edge rusher. He spent the last two years at Missouri after transferring from Michigan State. He had 6 1/2 sacks and 16 1/2 TFLs in 2025 on his way to being named first-team All-SEC.

Derrick Moore, Edge, Michigan: Over his college career, Moore (6-4, 255) had 21 sacks and 24 1/2 tackles for loss and was a first-team All-Big Ten player in 2025. Moore was an ascending player throughout his college career and the 23-year-old would be a nice pick in Round 3.

Gabe Jacas, Edge, Illinois: Jacas (6-4, 261) would be a solid fit with the Eagles and feels like their type of player. He started 43 games in college and had 27 sacks with 35 1/2 tackles for loss. He doesn’t project as a superstar at the next level but would be a solid part of the rotation as a high-effort guy.

Romello Height, Edge, Texas Tech: A bit of an older prospect who turned 25 in April, Height would theoretically be able to step in immediately and help the edge rusher rotation. In 2025 with Texas Tech, he had 9 1/2 sacks and 11 TFLs.

R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma: The likely second-round pick from Oklahoma is just 21 and was productive the last two years at Oklahoma with 15 1/2 sacks and 22 tackles for loss. Mason Thomas (6-2, 241) is a tough rusher with the ability to stop the run too.

Cashius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M: Howell, 23, finished off his college career with two seasons at Texas A&M after transferring from Bowling Green. He had a career season in 2025 with 11 sacks and 14 1/2 TFLs. Howell (6-2, 253) has short arms but has good burst off the edge.

Keyron Crawford, Edge, Auburn: Perhaps Crawford could be an option later in the second round or into the third. Crawford (6-4, 253) had a 5-sack season in 2025. His teammate Keldric Faulk was a first-round pick but Crawford was actually more productive last season.

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo: While McNeil-Warren (6-4, 201) got a ton of first-round buzz over the last few months, he ended up not hearing his name drafted on Day 1. The Eagles have been opportunistic with players like that before, although it would probably take a trade up from 54 to land him.

A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU: Haulcy (6-0, 215) played at New Mexico and Houston before transferring to LSU for the 2025 season. Overall, he started 44 games at those three schools and capped it off with a nice season at LSU. He had 10 career interceptions in college.

Jalon Kilgore, DB, South Carolina: The Eagles brought Kilgore (6-1, 210) in for a visit during the pre-draft process and there’s plenty to like about him. While he played nickel corner at South Carolina, many project him to be a safety in the NFL. He’s big and fast and super athletic. If the Eagles draft him, it’ll be up to their coaching staff to turn him into a real safety.

Treydan Stukes, DB, Arizona: After getting some first-round buzz late, Stukes is still available for now. An older prospect at 24, Stukes played nickel in college but could be a safety in the NFL. He’s 6-1, 190 and super athletic. Stukes ran a 4.33 at the combine with a vertical jump of 38 inches and a broad jump of 10-10.

D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana: Ponds (5-9, 180) is one of the most fun players in this draft. He projects as an NFL nickel because of his size but is an incredible competitor who was one of the best players on the National Champions.

Bud Clark, S, TCU: Clark was a sixth-year senior in 2025 and will turn 24 early next month. Clark (6-1, 188) started 45 games at TCU and was a ballhawk with 15 career interceptions and 21 pass breakups. He’s plenty rangy.

Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU: This has nothing to do with Jalen Hurts but the Eagles are always looking to add QBs and they know this one well. Nussmeier is the son of former QBs coach Doug Nussmeier. Things didn’t go well for Garrett at LSU in 2025 but he was injured. He could be a good pro QB.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville: Sure, the Eagles drafted a receiver in the first round but maybe the value is too hard to pass up on Day 2. Had Bell (6-2, 222) not torn his ACL in November, he probably would have heard his name called in the first round. The Eagles have pounced before when players slide because of medical concerns. Before his injury in November, Bell had 72 catches for 917 yards and 6 touchdowns. Bell is a Yazoo City, Mississippi, native (hometown of Fletcher Cox and Kenny Gainwell.

Chase Bisontis, OG, Texas A&M: A player who had first-round buzz, Bisontis (6-5, 315) is still available. He was a three-year starter for the Aggies and is still just 21 years old. One of the best guards in this class.

Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon: Pregnon was a sixth-year senior in 2025 and will turn 25 in October. But he started 51 games in his college career at Wyoming, USC and Oregon and projects as a starting guard in the NFL.

Gennings Dunker, OG, Iowa: After mostly playing tackle in college, Dunker (6-5, 319) is projected by most to be guard at the next level. He might offer some tackle flexibility but most believe he’ll be a guard at the next level. Speaking of next-level, Dunker has a mullet that is definitely next-level.

Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern: Tiernan (6-8, 323) has the frame to be an NFL starting tackle. He saw time at both left and right tackle in college with 44 total starts. He could also be a short-term or long-term fit at guard.

Markel Bell, OT, Miami: Bell (6-9, 346) is an enormous prospect. While his teammate Francis Mauigoa went in the first round, Bell might last late into Day 2. Bell played left tackle at Miami and didn’t give up a sack in 2025.

Travis Burke, OT, Memphis: Burke (6-9, 325) came up from smaller programs Gardner-Webb and Florida International before landing at Memphis as a full-time starting right tackle in 2025. He’s probably still a bit raw but he has a huge frame that would be worth developing.

Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia: Many expected more production from Delp at Georgia but he’s a candidate to become a better pro. Delp (6-5, 245) started 34 games with the Bulldogs and never had a 300-yard receiving season. But he’s big and athletic and profiles as a do-it-all Y tight end in the NFL. 

Sam Roush, TE, Stanford: The last time the Eagles drafted a tight end out of Stanford in the second round, it worked pretty well. Roush (6-6, 267) is a bigger tight end who is a true Y/inline guy. His most productive season came in 2025 when he had 49 catches for 545 yards and 2 touchdowns. 

Justin Joly, TE, NC State: An interesting option once we get a little deeper into Day 2, Joly (6-4, 241) spent two seasons at NC State after transferring from UConn. He was a pretty productive player at both stops and is like a poor man’s Kenyon Sadiq.

Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt: Stowers (6-4, 239) was very productive in his two seasons at Vanderbilt after transferring from New Mexico. He had 638 yards in 2024 and 769 in 2025. He’s not an inline player but could be a real receiving weapon in the NFL as a hybrid tight end.

Max Klare, TE, Ohio State: Sure, Klare wasn’t super productive at Ohio State, but there were a ton of mouths to feed in that offense. Klare (6-5, 246) showed off his ability at Purdue before going to Ohio State and could be a real weapon in the NFL.
