The Philadelphia Eagles face a pivotal decision regarding Jordan Davis as they approach the NFL Draft from April 24-26. With Davis, their first-round pick from 2022, eligible for a fifth-year option, the Eagles' draft strategy could reveal their intentions for the defensive tackle. Picking up the option would increase Davis's salary from $3 million to $13 million for 2026, a significant jump, especially considering he played only 40% of the snaps last season.

If the Eagles draft a defensive tackle early, it might signal they are leaning towards declining Davis's option, potentially allowing him to enter free agency. Conversely, if they don’t select a defensive tackle in the early rounds, it could suggest confidence in Davis's growth following an impressive postseason, including a sack on Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
