With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend behind us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. A big one was the trade last month that sent defensive back Sydney Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons traded pick 122 to the Las Vegas Raiders for picks 134 and 208. At 134, they selected Oklahoma LB Kendal Daniels and at 208 the pick was Washington DT Anterio Thompson.

The 215th pick was used on LSU LB Harold Perkins Jr.

Brown played in 17 games for the Eagles last season, recording 34 tackles. He also had an impact on special teams. The Eagles felt that their third-round pick from the 2023 draft would not be able to be re-signed in the offseason, so they chose to try to get value for him before he possibly left in free agency.

The Eagles used pick 114 in their first-round trade up with Dallas to get to 20 overall and take WR Makai Lemon.

They also traded pick 197, netting picks 207, 251, and 252 in the process. Georgia OG Micah Morris, international athletic freak Uar Bernard, and New Mexico DE Keyshawn James-Newby were the three picks made by the Eagles.
