Eagles Off-Season Check-In, Post Draft
It will be over 17 weeks until the Eagles kick off the regular season on September 4th.
We’re slowly crawling to the off-season finish line, and the next big milestone is approaching.
When the season ends, there are two massive windows to look forward to: the week of the draft and the opening days of free agency.

Once the free agency craze died down, it was time to prepare for the draft.
The Eagles entered the draft with picks 32, 64, 96, 134, 161, 164, 165, and 168.
Below are the players they drafted, and the picks the Eagles finally made.
- 31 – LB Jihaad Campbell
- 64 – S Andrew Mukuba
- 111 – DT Ty Robinson
- 145 – CB Mac McWilliams
- 161 – LB Smael Mondon
- 168 – OL Drew Kendall
- 181 – QB Kyle McCord
- 191 – OT Myles Hinton
- 207 – OT Cameron Williams
- 209 – OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Managing to turn 8 picks into 10 total selections and an additional 5th-round pick in the 2026 draft was excellent work by the Eagles in April. Setting themselves up with 12 total picks
Undrafted Free Agents
As if there wasn’t enough depth and camp competition on the roster already, the Eagles signed an additional NINE UDFA’s following the end of the draft.
- WR Darius Cooper
- LB Lance Dixon
- DB Maxen Hook
- DB Brandon Johnson
- RB Montrell Johnson
- DB BJ Myles
- WR Taylor Morin
- DL Hollin Pierce
- RB ShunDerrick Powell
Schedule Release
In less than a week, we can start circling days on the calendar for when the Birds will play.
Being Super Bowl Champs means you’ll play the first game of the next season.
There are still 16 more games to be announced, and if you’re not patient (like me) for Wednesday, you can keep track of potential leaks thanks to @NerdingOnNFL on X.
Get ready to book days off and plan trips to away games.
Eagles football will be here before you know it.
