​  ​​Read More​     The Philadelphia Eagles have a roster filled with former first-round picks, but their résumés vary widely.Some arrived in Philadelphia as franchise cornerstones and have already built Hall of Fame or Pro Bowl-level careers. Others are still early in their development, carrying the draft pedigree and long-term upside that made them first-round selections, but not yet having enough time to build complete NFL résumés. With training camp fast approaching, we’re highlighting first-round picks on the roster. This ranking focuses on career accomplishments, not 2026 upside, job security, or long-term projection.The first-round-only rule matters. That means Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goedert, Cooper DeJean, Riq Woolen, Jonathan Greenard, and Arnold Ebiketie are not included because they were not first-round picks, even though several of them are among the most important players on the roster. The list is limited to current Eagles who were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.1. Lane Johnson, offensive tackleJohnson is the clear No. 1. The future Hall of Fame right tackle has built one of the best careers by an offensive lineman in Eagles history, with six Pro Bowl selections, two first-team All-Pro honors, and two Super Bowl championships. His résumé includes elite longevity, postseason success, positional dominance, and leadership on one of the NFL’s most consistently strong offensive lines.Johnson’s value has also been evident in Philadelphia’s record, both with and without him.

The former No. 2 overall pick entered the league as a franchise back, earned Pro Bowl recognition, and became one of the NFL’s most dangerous dual-threat runners when healthy.His arrival in Philadelphia gave the Eagles another elite offensive weapon behind one of the league’s best offensive lines. Barkley does not have Johnson’s longevity with the Eagles, but this ranking is based on total career accomplishments, and his résumé as a former first-round pick places him near the top of the roster.3. DeVonta Smith, wide receiverSmith has already built one of the strongest résumés among Philadelphia’s young core. The former Heisman Trophy winner was selected in the first round in 2021 and quickly became one of the most productive receivers in franchise history, setting the Eagles’ rookie receiving record and later posting multiple 1,000-yard seasons.Smith has spent much of his career sharing targets in a loaded offense, but hi
