With the three draft selections to date, the Eagles added Lemon – sending two fourth-round picks to Dallas – and they expect Lemon to adjust very well to ball in the NFL and in this offensive scheme. Then the Eagles stayed put in Round 2 and added Eli Stowers to a tight end room that has already been heavily addressed in this offseason.
Stowers – a former quarterback who has “a high football IQ” who “has a lot of room to improve as well,” Sirianni said — won the Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end in the 2025 college football season and he comes in and will work with Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins, Cameron Latu, Stone Smartt, and Jaheim Bell. Stowers, highly productive at Vanderbilt, is a great athlete and will be fun to watch in the Eagles’ offense.
“The guy is super talented, and athletically he does some things that nobody else can do,” Sirianni said of Stowers. “Just to be able to create mismatches with him on third downs and second-down situations, he is a tough cover. Catches everything, good after the catch, speed, quickness. Really excited to have him.”
In Round 3, the Eagles brought on board Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell, a big and massive player who anchored the Hurricanes’ offensive line last season on their march to the National Championship Game.
“Markel Bell was a passion player for us,” Roseman said of the 6-foot9, 346-pound Bell, who has 36-3/8-inch arms and an 87-1/8-inch wingspan. “Obviously, unusual size, unusual length. Hard to find. Really, when you watch the tape, he is hard to get around in pass pro(tection). He had zero quarterback sacks allowed this year playing for the University of Miami. This is a 21-year-old player who was the No. 1 JC (junior college) recruit in the country coming out … Just watching the tape, he’s one of those guys who you would say, ‘What would happen if he went back to school this year?’ To have an opportunity for him to learn from the guys we have on this roster … just felt like this was a guy that is hard to find.”
We still have a third day of the draft, and the Eagles have three selections remaining. It’s all fluid, of course, and you know that Roseman will be on the edge of his seat looking for ways to build the roster, challenge positions and use every asset at his disposal.
The Eagles have one day remaining and then the post-NFL Draft period. They’ll keep adding. They will keep targeting specific areas on the roster. Roseman isn’t done, not by a long shot, and that’s exactly what the Eagles want as they continue building and adding impact for the 2026 season and beyond.
