NFC East Teams Draft for Defensive Upgrades

The NFC East teams, including the Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders, are focusing on defensive upgrades in the 2026 NFL Draft due to poor rankings in total defense. The Eagles aim to replace edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and potential offensive line retirements with young talent like Cashius Howell and Max Iheanachor. The Cowboys seek linebacker depth and edge rush help, potentially trading up for stars like Anthony Hill Junior. Washington targets wide receivers, cornerbacks, and a center, while the Giants focus on defensive tackles, guards, and more corners if they trade Dexter Lawrence. These moves could lead to increased parity in the division.
