The Philadelphia Eagles are going into Day 3 of the NFL Draft with three picks (No. 178, No. 197, No. 244).
Look for general manager Howie Roseman to make more trades and potentially add picks. Here’s who remains on the board as options:
Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State
Dennis-Sutton is a fine pass rusher (he had 8 1/2 sacks in each of his last two seasons), but his size (6-6, 256) and toughness against the run make him an attractive prospect for the Eagles. He fits well into the mold of Phillips and former Eagles edge rusher Sweat.
Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
Nussmeier is a familiar surname. Garrett’s father, Doug, was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach in 2024. He showcased his strengths in 2024: a QB with a smooth, strong, accurate arm, plus the poise, toughness and processing skills befitting someone whose father coaches the position at the highest level. NFL evaluators must deduce what went south for Nussmeier in 2025. What is owed to a nagging abdominal injury and an overall offensive regression that contributed to coach Brian Kelly’s firing? What are his true weaknesses, and can they be refined?
Travis Burke, OT, Memphis
Bell is 6-9 and 325 pounds, moves well for his size and started 46 games in college at three schools. He must maintain leverage, but the size cannot be taught.
Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College
At 6-5 and 314 pounds with strong athletic traits, Bowry took a pre-draft visit to the Eagles. Bowry’s arm length (33 3/4-inch arms) has opened the possibility that he could swing inside to guard.
Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State
A Downingtown, Pa. native, Shelton would qualify as a local draft pick for the Eagles. He started 34 games at Penn State during the past four years. He’s 6-foot-5 and 313 pounds with good feet, but he must add play strength in the NFL.
Isaiah World, OT, Oregon
World’s draft stock slipped because of a torn ACL in January that might require a redshirt season in 2026. Before the injury, the 6-5, 323-pound World was expected to go higher in the draft than the fifth or sixth-round range Brugler projected.
Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina
Kilgore’s time playing nickel for South Carolina and potential at safety make him a distinct target for the Eagles. The Eagles seem intent on keeping DeJean at nickel. But it doesn’t hurt to prepare contingency plans in the event they must move their most versatile defensive back to cornerback or safety for whatever reason.
Devin Moore, CB, Florida
Moore had an extensive injury history at Florida, but when he at last started in double-digit games in 2025, he led the team with two interceptions. He has rare height and length at 6-3, 198 pounds. He has above-average speed and did not log a penalty over his final two seasons.
Caden Curry, Edge, Ohio State
Tough, dependable and driven, Curry was very productive in his only year as a starter in 2025, amassing 11 sacks and 16.5 TFLs. His 6-3, 257-pound frame leaves more to be desired, but it’s possible Curry breaches those deficiencies as a full-package player.
Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma
Burks has impeccable speed that assisted him in averaging 10.9 yards per reception in 2025. Brugler notes Burks is “dangerous on jet sweeps, because of his speed and make-you-miss ability.” Burks also averaged 19.9 yards as a kickoff returner in 2022.
Skyler Bell, WR, UConn
Bell and Miami’s Malachi Toney were the only two FBS receivers in 2025 with 800-plus YAC. Bell, who can play inside and outside, also led the FBS with seven games of at least 100 yards receiving. The 6-foot, 192-pound Bell had the same number of career drops as career touchdown catches (24).
Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
The Eagles don’t need help on the running back depth chart, but Singleton’s big-play ability and versatility would be appealing. The in-state prospect from Shillington, Pa. rushed for 1,099 yards and 12 touchdowns with 41 catches for 375 yards in 2024, but bypassed the NFL and returned to Penn State in what turned out to be an ugly 2025 season. The Eagles could buy the dip.
Cole Payton, QB, North Dakota State
There is a limited sample size of tape for Payton, a one-year starter for the Bison. Payton gained attention as the Senior Bowl’s MVP for the National Team. The dual-threat lefty has inconsistent mechanics and holds the ball too long, but, at 6-3, 232 pounds, he can sling with considerable strength.
Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech
Virgil worked his way from Miami, Ohio, to becoming a one-year starter at Texas Tech who led the Red Raiders with 57 catches (for 705 yards and six touchdowns). He’s tall (6-3), smooth in his long strides and is “snappy at the top of routes,” per Brugler. Virgil also made a name for himself in special teams coverage at Miami Ohio, which should distinguish him on Day 3 as someone willing to work his way into the league.
Anthony Lucas, Edge, USC
Lucas does not have impressive production. At 6-6, 256 pounds, he has three career sacks across four seasons, and all of them were in 2025. He began his career at Texas A&M, but transferred to USC after just one year. He underwent season-ending ankle surgery midway through the 2024 season.
Fernando Carmona, OL, Arkansas
The 6-5, 316-pound Carmona was productive as both a left tackle and left guard at Arkansas. He was also team captain and the voice of his position room. Weaker as a blocker on the move, but competes with a mean streak.
Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas
Green has favorable size at 6-6, 229 pounds and rushed for more than 2,400 yards across four seasons as a starter at Boise State and Arkansas. He threw for 2,714 yards, ran for 777 yards and scored 27 total touchdowns. Brugler called Green “one of the most physically gifted players in the 2026 draft class (at any position).” Mechanics need to be developed, though.

Aaron Graves, DT, Iowa
Roseman can never draft too many defensive linemen. Graves is a 6-5, 295-pound tackle who totaled 16 1/2 sacks and 25 tackles for loss in four seasons with Iowa. A William V. Campbell Trophy finalist, Graves could be a tempting pick on Day 3.
Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
Once an elite recruit, Klubnik entered the 2025 season as a Heisman Trophy contender before a down year diminished his draft stock. Klubnik, who is from Austin, Texas, could stand to benefit from being in a quarterback room with Hurts, a Houston native. Promising tape on Klubnik remains. In 2024, he threw for 3,639 yards, 36 touchdowns and six interceptions. He threw for 2,943 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2025.
DJ Campbell, OG, Texas
Campbell was the iron man at Texas, starting in 43 straight games to finish his collegiate career. He was a three-year starter at right guard, and, per Brugler, “has the talent and toughness to fit a downhill, gap-centric scheme.” If the Eagles don’t fully abandon that style, Campbell could fit in nicely.
Kaleb Proctor, DT, Southeastern Louisiana
Proctor offers the closest profile you’ll see to Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who is entering the final year of his contract. Proctor is 6-2, 291 pounds with 33-inch arms, a 4.79-second 40-yard dash, a 33-inch vertical leap and a 113-inch broad jump. He’s an intriguing Day 3 talent at a position where the Eagles could seek down-the-road depth.
Kamari Ramsey, S, USC
The 21-year-old Ramsey has 21 college starts between USC and UCLA, playing both nickel and safety for the Trojans and wearing the green dot in USC’s secondary. That demonstrates he has coaches’ trust, similar to Reed Blankenship at times with the Eagles. He’s 6 feet tall and 202 pounds with a 4.47-second 40-yard dash.
Michael Taaffe, S, Texas
From walk-on to second-team All-American and first-team all-SEC, Taaffe’s on-field resume is sterling, and he has chemistry with Andrew Mukuba. Taaffe’s traits won’t wow you — he’s 6-feet tall and 190 pounds with a 4.5-second 40-yard dash — but the instincts could get him on the field on defense. The special teams experience (844 career snaps) gives him a floor for an NFL roster.
Jack Pyburn, Edge, LSU
Pyburn is another edge rusher with minimal production and enviable size. The 6-4, 258-pound Pyburn has a “sculpted body type” and “sets violent edges,” but totaled three sacks across four seasons while playing at both Florida and LSU. He tore his left ACL late in the 2023 season. He doesn’t project as a dangerous pass rusher, but his fierce hands and passion for the game suggest he can hold his own along the edge against the run game.
