Now that the first round of the NFL Draft is offically over, the Eagles will have to bottle their excitement from their first round pick and refocus on the task ahead. Makai Lemon is an incredible steal but now the Eagles are limited on the picks that they have after trading away two 4th-round picks and their first rounder to select him. So who could the Birds be targeting on day two? Here are 30 targets for the Eagles to consider.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Logan Jones, Iowa
High football IQ, technical consistency, and elite awareness. He brings a blue-collar identity, a 90.7 pass block grade, and allowed only 3 pressures in 2025. He was a team captain and will elevate the center position for many NFL teams.
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.
DL- Christen Miller, Georgia
One of the best run defenders in this class. Active, violent hands, good balance, understands and uses leverage, versatile, and eats double teams. His ceiling will be determined by how much pass-rushing juice he can add to his game.
DL- Lee Hunter, Texas Tech
Another DL with above-average run defense and a pass rush that needs work. He has a huge wingspan and violent hands to win in the trenches. He will be ideal for a team looking for 20 early-down snaps and one patient for him to develop, moved into his pass-rushing repertoire.
DL — Gracen Halton, Oklahoma
A solid interior pass rusher who has a good burst and consistently beats guards with a punch and a juke. His long-term value will be as a player who can get to the quarterback.
EDGE — Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell wins immediately with an elite first step, bend, and active hands, pairing that with consistent effort against the run. His hybrid ability at edge/linebacker and his high sack and pressure production make him a clean Philly fit — an attacking, disruptive piece who can be moved around to create chaos.
EDGE — Derrick Moore, Michigan
Moore’s explosive first step, lateral movement, and athleticism make him a high-upside pass-rushing threat, and his aggressive, physical, high-energy play style screams Philly fit. With a 15.5% pressure rate and the ability to impact both phases, he profiles as a disruptive force with room to grow into more.
EDGE — Gabe Jacas, Illinois
Gabe Jacas is a high-motor edge defender who wins with effort, burst, and physicality. He consistently sets the edge against the run and plays with strong hands, showing the ability to shed and finish through contact. As a pass rusher, he’s still developing counters, but the toughness, discipline, and relentless play style give him a dependable floor with upside as a rotational piece who can grow into more. A Team Captain with 27 sacks and 35.5 TFLs is welcomed on any NFL Defense.
EDGE — Joshua Josephs, Tennessee
Josephs brings speed, bend, and a relentless motor, consistently setting the edge against the run while attacking from multiple angles as a pass rusher. He’s the type of versatile disruptor Philly values; someone who plays fast, physical, and with intent on every snap.
EDGE — Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State
DDS is the type of defender with the kind of traits you bet on. Length, burst, and real power at the point of attack. He sets the edge well against the run, using his frame and strength to control tackles, while flashing a developing pass-rush arsenal with speed-to-power and active hands. Still putting it all together consistently, but the ceiling is high as a disruptive, every-down edge with Philly Fit written all over him.
EDGE — Jaishawn Barham, Michigan
Barham is an ascending player with a nonstop motor and a physical edge, showing versatility as a run-stopper who can set the edge and generate pressure. While his coverage discipline still needs refinement, his 89 career pressures and willingness to do the dirty work make him an intriguing selection.
CB- Jermod McCoy, Tennessee
If you are building your draft board based on CB play via the film, elite traits, and advanced technique, then he is in the conversation for CB1, and no lower than second. He is violent through contact and a competitor in every sense of the word. A scrapper who refuses to back down. In short, if you want a Dawg at the corner, and Philly always welcomes more Dawgs, then McCoy is the one you want.
CB — Avieon Terrell, Clemson
Terrell brings fluid hips, strong ball skills, and physicality, aligning perfectly with a scheme that values versatility and disguise. His ability to match different receiver types makes him a clean “Philly Fit” piece in a secondary built on flexibility and aggression.
CB — Colton Hood, Tennessee
Hood emerged as McCoy’s counterpart and an SEC disruptor, bringing twitch, competitiveness, and strong press ability. His footwork, instincts, and physicality are consistently on display, making him an opportunistic defender who thrives in tight coverage.
CB — Julian Neal, Arkansas
Neal is another highly physical corner who stands out as an excellent run defender, bringing toughness and willingness to hit. He could fall right into the range where Howie is comfortable doubling up at the position, adding more edge and depth to the secondary.
CB- Malik Muhammad, Texas
Muhammad is twitchy, has a quick trigger, and mirrors receivers’ hips tightly. Thrives in zone, making him a natural Philly fit. Toolsy, physical & instinctive.
CB- Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State
He has the length, the physicality, and the skill to start day one. He cut his penalties by over 65%, a crazy reduction, and was still equally effective. He has improved at turning his head to the ball and has proven highly durable, which makes him a pretty popular player. If he corrects some hip issues, he could be one of the best CBs in the draft.
S — Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
McNeil-Warren is a physical, aggressive tone-setter who brings box presence, range, and playmaking ability. With size, instincts, and versatility, he fits the mold of a safety who can impact all levels of the field while setting the edge defensively with attitude.
S — Jalon Kilgore, South Carolina
At 6’1, 211 with 4.40 speed, Kilgore brings positional versatility, physicality, and ball skills, highlighted by 8 interceptions and elite tracking ability. He smothers receivers with length and strength, plays effectively in the box, and combines instincts, durability, and athleticism to project as an exciting Day 2 talent
S- AJ Haulcy, LSU
Elite ball skills and a knack for creative turnovers, 10 career interceptions. AJ has a sturdy 220-plus-pound frame that he willingly uses to mix it up against the run, while also having good sideline-to-sideline speed.
S — Zakee Wheatley, Penn State
Wheatley allowed the fewest yards per snap in coverage, playing clean football with zero career penalties and an 82.7 run defense grade. With over 2100 career snaps, he’s battle-tested, reliable, and efficient — exactly the type of steady presence you trust on the back end.
S- Kamari Ramsey, USC
Kamari can play in the box, deep, or cover the slot. Fluid hips for safety with shutdown ability versus tight ends, and diagnoses plays fast at all three levels. If he improves his run defense, Ramsey could end up being a steal. His coverage ability will be what gets him drafted on day 2.
