Eagles Draft Georgia Guard Micah Morris at No. 207 After Trade Down

The pick signals a push to add interior depth after offseason losses.

Overview

  • The Eagles moved from No. 197 to No. 207 in a trade with the Rams during the 2026 NFL Draft and used the later pick on Georgia guard Micah Morris.
  • At 6'5" and 334 pounds, Morris turns 23 in August and brings starts at both left and right guard, with Pro Football Focus logging heavy left‑guard usage in 2025.
  • NFL.com scout Lance Zierlein credits Morris with intelligence, power and movement yet flags high pad level, wide hands and an inconsistent base that can open lanes for rushers.
  • Philadelphia slots him as a developmental interior option behind projected starters Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens and Tyler Steen after losing backups Brett Toth and Matt Pryor in free agency.
  • Team analysts note elite athletic testing and no sacks allowed in 2025, though reports stress he must refine technique and still earn a roster spot in camp.
