Notes
- The Eagles currently do not have a selection in the seventh round. The Eagles acquired one additional seventh-round selection, along with wide receiver DeSean Jackson, in a trade that sent their 2019 sixth-round selection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Eagles made trades with the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots involving both their own seventh-round selection and the one acquired from the Buccaneers.
- The Eagles acquired an additional fifth-round selection in a trade that sent one of their seventh-round selections and defensive end Michael Bennett to the Patriots.
- The Eagles acquired an additional sixth-round selection, along with linebacker Duke Riley, in a trade that sent one of their seventh-round selections and safety Johnathan Cyprien to the Falcons.
- The Eagles traded a sixth-round selection to the Chicago Bears in exchange for running back Jordan Howard.
- As the result of the negative differential of free agent signings and departures that the Eagles experienced during the first wave of the 2019 free agency period, the team is projected to receive two compensatory selections for the 2020 draft.[5] Free agent transactions that occurred after May 7, 2019 did not factor into the team's formula for determining compensatory selections.[6]
- The Eagles traded a third-round and fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft to the Detroit Lions for cornerback Darius Slay.[7]
