The 2026 NFL draft is a little over one year away, and while Philadelphia likely won't have a high first-round pick, they'll dominate the board and should enter Day 1 with the most selections. The Eagles and 49ers made their Bryce Huff trade official on Monday night, with the defending Super Bowl champions landing a 2026 fifth-round pick, which could become a fourth-round pick if Huff is impactful in San Francisco.
Huff will be reunited with his former head coach, Robert Saleh, who is again the defensive coordinator with the 49ers and a huge reason the pass rusher logged 10 sacks in 2023.
With the trade now official, the Eagles are projected to have 13 picks in the 2026 draft. That'll include their own 10 picks and three compensatory picks from their free agent losses in March.

Philadelphia has a bulging Super Bowl window, and they'll have an advantage over their NFC East counterparts in amassing elite and versatile talent. Brandon Lee Gowton reports that while the Eagles will have 13 total picks as of June 2, the entire division (Commanders, Cowboys, Giants) will have a combined 18 draft picks.
