The Philadelphia Eagles are entering the 2026 NFL Draft with pressing questions about their defensive lineup due to several player departures. General Manager Howie Roseman faces the challenge of maintaining the team's identity while integrating new talent. The defensive line, traditionally a strength, has depth concerns behind key players like Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo. At outside linebacker, starters Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt are joined by Arnold Ebiketie, who has breakout potential, while Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has shown productivity in previous seasons. The linebacker corps, featuring Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell (who will miss much of the offseason), requires more dynamic playmaking to enhance effectiveness. The secondary poses the most significant questions, with a strong cornerback trio but concerns about the reserves' production. Drew Mukuba is a certain starter at safety, while Marcus Epps and Michael Carter II will compete for the other spot. The Eagles must quickly gel as a unit, and the upcoming draft is a pivotal moment for reinforcing their defense and reestablishing team balance.
