It's draft day!

The Eagles have eight selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, starting with the No. 23 overall pick tonight. The Draft begins at 8 PM and viewers can watch the live coverage on ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network.

Here's what draft experts think the Eagles will do in Round 1:

Blake Miller, OT, Clemson

Eric Edholm (NFL.com): "Miller checks a lot of boxes with his size (6-foot-6 3/4, 317 pounds) and experience (54 college starts), and the Eagles have to continue reinforcing their offensive line."

Mel Kiper Jr. (ESPN): "The Eagles don't typically let future needs become current problems. General manager Howie Roseman is tactful in how he keeps the roster stocked with depth and future replacements."

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz (CBS Sports): "Amid all the uncertainty in Philadelphia at some more high-profile spots, this sets up to be a classic Howie Roseman class in getting ahead of the curve. The long-awaited successor to Lane Johnson emerges in Miller, who doesn't offer the same positional flexibility as some of his counterparts but boasts the frame, length and athleticism to be a fixture at right tackle."

Matt Miller (ESPN): "No team drafts ahead of need better than Philadelphia, which makes its offensive line situation confusing. ... Miller was not brought in for a predraft workout with the Eagles, per a source close to the player, but that shouldn't be an indicator of their interest given his profile of 53 career starts."

Field Yates (ESPN): "Right tackle Lane Johnson confirmed in February that he's back for 2026, but the Eagles have a chance to do what general manager Howie Roseman has consistently done: address "wants" before they become "musts." Miller logged nearly 3,700 career snaps as a four-year starter at Clemson, and he gave up only nine pressures and two sacks in 2025."

Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State

Jordan Reid (ESPN): "Iheanachor won't be ready to start right away, as he's still new to the sport (he started playing in junior college). He still has to learn how to sequence his frame and hand usage when latching into rushers, but he has unlimited potential and would have time to develop in Philadelphia."

Peter Schrager (ESPN): "Iheanachor is still relatively new to football, playing it for the first time in 2022. But he is one of the players with the biggest upside in the first round. Considering he is still growing and learning, this could be a home run for the Eagles if they are patient."

Here are all 22 Eagles first round picks who made the Pro Bowl, from Davey O'Brien in 1939 to Quinyon Mitchell in 2024.

Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Ryan Wilson (CBS Sports): "Lomu, who played left tackle at Utah, told me at the combine that he's also been working on the right side. Some NFL teams also believe he could kick inside to guard if needed."

Lance Zierlein (NFL.com): "Blake Miller is a consistent target here for mock drafters, but Lomu is younger, has higher upside in pass protection and can play swing tackle in Year 1 as he learns from Lane Johnson."

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Nate Davis (USA Today): "Boston (6-4, 212) is [a] supersized red-zone target (20 TD catches since 2024) and boundary receiver."

Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana

Chad Reuter (NFL.com): "Cooper's strength, speed and elite body control should allow him to make a smooth transition to the Eagles' offense as a rookie."

Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

Pete Prisco (CBS Sports): "They will consider the offensive line here, but they need to get back to being dominant in rushing the passer. Getting another body up front after losing Jaelen Phillips would help."

Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

Bucky Brooks (NFL.com): "Freeling is a work in progress, but his talent and tools would shine in the Eagles' developmental system."

Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

* Proposed trade with the Buccaneers to No. 15 overall
Daniel Jeremiah (NFL Network): "I'm expecting a big trade market for the 16th overall pick, with teams looking to move ahead of the Lions for an offensive tackle. The Eagles trade up one spot higher to beat the competition for Proctor."

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

Dane Brugler (The Athletic): "This pick came down to Sadiq or Max Iheanachor, and I think most would assume the tackle to have the edge. But the Eagles are in the market for a pass-catching weapon for 2026, too, and don't have a long-term solution at tight end. Sadiq would address both issues."
