Eagles GM Howie Roseman has stated that their focus in the 2026 NFL Draft would be on the offensive side of the ball. Could that be misdirection? Sure, but with needs arising over the next two years, this is the point where Howie usually addresses them, so the franchise is never heading into a season with obvious holes at starting positions on the roster.
I have been diving into college prospects since last summer, and these are 30 offensive players who are ‘Philly Fits’ and could be on the Eagles' draft board.
Monroe Freeling, Georgia
Monroe Freeling has 16 career starts, which makes him a projection to an extent, but I gamble on traits, and his are elite. His length, speed, and lateral agility are all paired with a nasty finishing mentality and basketball background, and that footwork can’t be taught; you see the movement skills translate on tape. He still needs to add weight and experience, but the upside is a decade-plus starter with high-end traits and tools.
Max Iheanachor, Arizona State
A big-framed, powerful tackle with untapped upside, he can develop into a starter while serving early as a swing tackle, or even as a guard early. He has a basketball background, and it shows up in his smooth footwork. Learning behind Lane would be a big advantage for the OT who didn't even play football in high school.
Blake Miller, Clemson
Miller brings toughness, versatility, and athleticism, with a technique that fits the Eagles’ preference for aggressive, mauling linemen. He offers a high floor with enough ceiling to develop further, making him a dependable piece with upside in the right system.
Spencer Fano, Utah
Fano has some scouts thinking he will be a guard at the next level, mainly due to his arm length, but if he adds strength and continues to develop his base, there is a path to sticking at OT. At 6'6, 311, his agility and explosive burst are rare.
Caleb Lomu, Utah
Caleb Lomu projects well with his combination of burst, grip strength, and pass protection, and he already shows flashes of high-level play. He’s still adding strength, size, and weight, which will be key to his development.
Gennings Dunker, Iowa
A battle-tested lineman who projects cleanly inside with the toughness and play strength to hold up at tackle if needed. He is violent when he collides with defenders and plays with bad intentions, in the best way. His power, strength, and disposition will play well in the NFL; which position he plays is the only thing left to determine.
Markel Bell, Miami
Bell is a 6'9, 346-pound man with 36-inch arms, and his grip strength just adds to his freakish foundation. He allowed zero sacks on 558 pass blocking snaps in 2025. He is a projection and will need to work on his run blocking, but there will be a team to gamble on those traits.
Austin Barber, Florida
Barber is 22, of good size at 6'7 and 318 pounds, with a basketball background and the footwork to prove it. His recovery, mirroring, and ability to get to the second level are well above average. He could stay at tackle or kick inside.
Drew Shelton, Penn State
At 6'5, 313 pounds, Drew is a little undersized, but he makes up for it by breaking out of his stance fast and using his fluid hip and agility to cover pass rushers and sustain blocks. Another OL prospect with a basketball background.
Isaiah World, Oregon
Isaiah is recovering from a season-ending torn ACL injury, and he will likely fall to day three in the draft. But he has the size, hands, lateral agility, and football IQ to thrive once healthy. His injury likely takes a year to recover from, but for a team that doesn't need a tackle until 2027, he could be a fit.
Vega Ioane
Ioane is a tone-setting interior lineman with the size, strength, and physical edge you want in the middle of an offensive line. He plays with a strong anchor, heavy hands, and a mauler mentality, consistently displacing defenders in the run game while holding up against power inside. His toughness and play style scream Philly Fit — an interior presence who brings control, physicality, and attitude snap after snap.
Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M
A powerful, thickly built blue-collar interior lineman. Strong, tough, athletic, nasty, and trustworthy. He mauls defenders, creates space, and finishes blocks. Chase is an intriguing option in the second round.
Keylan Rutledge, Georgia State
Rutledge is strong, hard to move, and built to anchor. He will be bringing a mauler mentality to the interior. At 6’4, 320, he’s a tone-setter in the run game. An uber-competitive lineman fueled by a compelling backstory. He met with the Eagles at the Senior Bowl.
Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon
Pregnon has a sturdy anchor and is a reliable interior blocker with a nasty finishing mentality. He blows up his man through the whistle. His vertical jump at the combine confirmed his lower-body burst. He has a death grip, and his hand-to-hand combat is just as impressive.
Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana
The Indiana wideout shows off crisp route-running, quickness in short areas, and trustworthy hands. He would complement the outside wideouts by being hard to contain from the slot.
KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
KC would give the Eagles a dynamic chess-piece weapon who can win inside, stress defenses, create separation, build confidence, and make great plays with the ball in his hands & on the ground. Howie said they want playmakers; he is one.
Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
A true X receiver frame, built like a running back with receiver movement skills. Sound like anyone we know? Chris Bell is a power receiver disguised as a playmaker. He wins with size, strength, and what happens after the catch, more than pure finesse. YAC monster, physical, explosive, enough juice to stress defenses vertically, and not afraid to go into traffic and take the hit over the middle. If not for a 2025 ACL injury, he could have been a top 20 pick. Howie takes the medical discount and the risk that comes with it.
Zachariah Branch
Zacariah gives the offense a dynamic route runner and separator who thrives with the ball in his hands. As a YAC threat in RPOs and a motion weapon, he adds an element the Eagles currently lack — explosiveness in space.
Germie Bernard, Alabama
At 6’1, 206, Bernard is a tough, physical, and unselfish receiver who thrives in contested areas, making him a reliable third-down and red-zone target. His willingness to block and ability after the catch align perfectly with Philly’s RPO-heavy approach.
Ted Hurst, Georgia State
Hurst flashes strong ball tracking, physicality at the catch point, and the ability to break tackles, paired with fluid hips and contested catch ability. A versatile red-zone weapon, he is a little raw but could develop into an alpha receiver. He will get round two consideration.
Malachi Fields, Notre Dame
Fields brings size, speed, and vertical ability, projecting as a starting-caliber receiver with developmental upside. Philly’s tendency to bet on traits over polish fits perfectly here, making him a pick that serves both the present and future.
Bryce Lance, North Dakota State
If the Eagles want to continue red zone dominance, Bryce is a red zone monster! Philly Fits: Ball skills, athleticism, smooth release, vertical threat, deep ball tracker, snatches 50–50 balls, YAC, and ball skills.
De-Zhaun Stribling, Ole Miss
Stribling was very athletic all season long and confirmed it at the combine with a 9.57 RAS. Ball tracker, willing blocker, year over year improvement, and creates space vertically. Eagles have interest as they have met with him.
Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Stowers is a versatile weapon who can line up anywhere, bringing enough blocking to sell the run while thriving as a natural chain-mover and a vertical threat. A former QB with high football IQ, he finds soft spots in coverage and turns them into first downs, adding an unpredictable dynamic to the offense.
Oscar Delp, Georgia
Delp is an assignment sound technician in the pro-style run game and wins as a blocker with that technique rather than mass. He was underutilized at Georgia and could be a player who thrives in the NFL more than in college.
Sam Roush, Stanford
Combine testing confirmed the tape. Roush is an ascending player and is assignment-sound, tough, and reliable. He comes from a pro-style foundation and will bring physicality as a blocker. He has a good floor and a high ceiling.
Max Klare, Ohio State
Max is a smooth, receiver-first tight end who wins with running good routes and creating separation. Not a true in-line Y, and he will need to add some muscle and improve his blocking at the NFL level. He puts stress on defenses and will find a role with whichever team selects him.
Tanner Koziol, Houston
Koziol has a ridiculously wide catch radius, good hands and ball-tracking ability, and is a true red-zone dominator. He will win contested catches and is a willing blocker.
Nate Boerkircher, Texas A&M
Boerkircher is one of the few true in-line Y tight ends in this class, and in my opinion, that alone gets him drafted despite his advanced age. (25 this year) In an offense that didn’t feature him, he still flashed real receiving traits: catch radius, separation at the top, and the ability to work the middle of the field.
Dae-Quan Wright, Mississippi
Wright is a good blocker in line, on the perimeter, and in the second level. A solid route runner with YAC ability and decent long speed. He is still polishing his game, but the upside label is warranted.
As always, thank you for reading!
