The Philadelphia Eagles made moves in the NFL draft by acquiring Tank Bigsby, impacting their 2026 picks significantly.
The Eagles shook up their 2026 NFL draft picks by trading for running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving up two selections in the process. This trade, the fifth in a series of deals orchestrated by general manager Howie Roseman since mid-August, saw the Eagles part ways with a fifth- and sixth-round pick to secure Bigsby.
Despite these transactions, Roseman is still set to have an impressive haul of 10 picks in the upcoming draft. The exact details of the picks involved in the Bigsby trade are not entirely clear at the moment, with uncertainties surrounding whether the Eagles relinquished their own sixth-round pick or the one acquired from the Vikings.
Another recent trade by the Eagles involved sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick to acquire Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick. However, the conditions attached to these picks mean that the draft pick landscape for the Eagles remains fluid and subject to further changes.
Before their recent wheeling and dealing, the Eagles initially boasted five fifth-round picks. With the series of trades, including the move for Tank Bigsby, the Eagles have reshaped their draft capital for 2026, setting the stage for an intriguing draft day for the Philadelphia franchise.
It’s important to note that while some of the Eagles’ draft picks are projected, such as potential compensatory selections, the exact composition of their draft picks is still evolving. Fans can keep an eye on further developments as the team navigates its way through the draft process.
