The Eagles added two draft picks and a veteran in Jonathan Greenard.

This is the way the Eagles look at two nights of the 2026 NFL Draft, and in every way, Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman is correct: The offense has added wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon, tight end Eli Stowers and offensive tackle Markel Bell. The defense, an immediate impact player in outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard. Spin it any way you want, but that's the truth.

In an NFL Draft that so many draftniks downplayed as not as impactful as usual, the Eagles added just that.

Impact.

And they've done it in the most Eagles, Roseman-led way. He uses every piece of inventory as an asset, and in the case of the offseason and the first two nights of this NFL Draft, he's used draft picks culled from deals made a year ago to beef up the roster.

Wicks was acquired in a trade with Green Bay at the expense of a fifth-round pick this year (No. 153 overall, acquired in a trade last year with Atlanta) and a sixth-round pick in 2027 that the Eagles gained when they traded offensive lineman Darian Kinnard to the Packers prior to the 2025 regular season. So, the deal boils down to this: The Eagles have Wicks for a fifth-round pick and Kinnard.

The draft picks the Eagles dealt for Greenard are a compensatory pick this year No. 98 overall and a third-round selection next spring, and they also received the No. 244 overall pick for Saturday (seventh round).

Definitely, then, Wicks and Greenard are part of this NFL Draft class, and they will be a huge part of the mix. Wicks, the Eagles have talked about previously. He's a big-bodied guy who the Eagles believe fits right into what they want to do offensively.

"He's able to separate at the top of the route, and I think his toughness really shows up on tape," head coach Nick Sirianni said. "When you can create that type of separation, we obviously get really excited about that, really excited to add him to that room."

Greenard has the pass-rush pedigree, brings it on every snap, and is going to add heat off the edge.

"Relentless player with physical tools," Roseman said. "He can win multiple ways, he's hard to block. I know when we played Minnesota, we were worried about him at all times. Just a really player, obviously a captain on that football team, so we just felt like we had a really good D line, but we really wanted to elevate it to another level.

"It really made sense for where our football team was to go and acquire this player."

With the three draft selections to date, the Eagles added Lemon sending two fourth-round picks to Dallas and they expect Lemon to adjust very well to ball in the NFL and in this offensive scheme. Then the Eagles stayed put in Round 2 and added Eli Stowers to a tight end room that has already been heavily addressed in this offseason.

Stowers a former quarterback who has "a high football IQ" who "has a lot of room to improve as well," Sirianni said -- won the Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end in the 2025 college football season and he comes in and will work with Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins, Cameron Latu, Stone Smartt, and Jaheim Bell. Stowers, highly productive at Vanderbilt, is a great athlete and will be fun to watch in the Eagles' offense.

"The guy is super talented, and athletically he does some things that nobody else can do," Sirianni said of Stowers. "Just to be able to create mismatches with him on third downs and second-down situations, he is a tough cover. Catches everything, good after the catch, speed, quickness. Really excited to have him."

In Round 3, the Eagles brought on board Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell, a big and massive player who anchored the Hurricanes' offensive line last season on their march to the National Championship Game.

"Markel Bell was a passion player for us," Roseman said of the 6-foot9, 346-pound Bell, who has 36-3/8-inch arms and an 87-1/8-inch wingspan. "Obviously, unusual size, unusual length. Hard to find. Really, when you watch the tape, he is hard to get around in pass pro(tection). He had zero quarterback sacks allowed this year playing for the University of Miami. This is a 21-year-old player who was the No. 1 JC (junior college) recruit in the country coming out Just watching the tape, he's one of those guys who you would say, 'What would happen if he went back to school this year?' To have an opportunity for him to learn from the guys we have on this roster just felt like this was a guy that is hard to find."

We still have a third day of the draft, and the Eagles have three selections remaining. It's all fluid, of course, and you know that Roseman will be on the edge of his seat looking for ways to build the roster, challenge positions and use every asset at his disposal.

The Eagles have one day remaining and then the post-NFL Draft period. They'll keep adding. They will keep targeting specific areas on the roster. Roseman isn't done, not by a long shot, and that's exactly what the Eagles want as they continue building and adding impact for the 2026 season and beyond.
