A week after the Dallas Cowboys were dismantled on Monday Night Football, Week 10's finale will offer some relief.

A Micah Parsons-led Green Bay Packers will play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC heavyweight fight filled with playoff implications. As Dallas fans look away, the rest of the league will be tuned into two products of elite front offices.

Both Green Bay and Philadelphia have added talent in recent months, although the shape of their transactions has differed. The Packers are set to enter the 2026 NFL Draft with no first-round pick and two top-100 selections. Their Week 10 opponent has opted to trade down in April and flip picks for rentals, allowing the Eagles to improve while retaining draft capital.

Let's take a look at how this arms race could continue this offseason.

Philadelphia Eagles

Round 1, Pick 29: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson

Philadelphia is likely to make a luxury pick early in the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Howie Roseman is committed to taking high-value positions in Round 1, and that would continue with a Blake Miller selection.

Miller is an elite athlete and a right tackle by trade. Finding a long-term replacement for Lane Johnson remains a priority and would keep this offense on track as it ages out of certain stars. Miller is breaking out in his platform year but has enough high-quality experience to trust, and as his stock approaches Round 1, the opportunity to sit behind a pair of elite tackles is enticing.

Round 2, Pick 61: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

Parker began the year as the consensus EDGE1 and a star player on an elite defense. In the weeks since, Clemson has struggled and Parker has yet to eliminate the biggest weakness in his profile: production against NFL-level tackles.

To his credit, his speed-to-power should translate to Sundays, and he is big enough to play against the run without concern. Armed with a talented defensive line, a part-time role could suit him well as he acclimates to the NFL game. He wouldn't have to carry a pass rush, a notable pivot from his projection this summer. Here, he'd help keep Nolan Smith optimized as a pass-rush specialist while adding depth to Philadelphia's defense.

Round 3, Pick 70: DJ McKinney, CB, Colorado

Colorado has another early-round cornerback talent. Philadelphia has a need on the boundary. In the middle of Day 2, the door is open for an immediate impact.

McKinney's documented ball production (four interceptions and 14 passes defended in the last two years) would add potency to the secondary. He's strong enough in coverage to trust over Adoree' Jackson and Jaire Alexander, even if there's work to be done.

Round 3, Pick 98: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

We know by now that Roseman is happy to draft from the same handful of schools, and while it's mere coincidence that a third Tiger lands in Philadelphia, Williams makes a good amount of sense in this offense.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are stars, but finding a third receiver to play primarily in the slot could complete this offense. This season, Williams is playing inside more than ever before. He's averaging 6.6 yards after the catch and posting 2.40 yards per route run, both the best marks of his college career (via PFF).

Creating explosive plays as an extension of the run game serves this passing offense well, and he doesn't demand the same target share as his early-round counterparts. With gadget-play and special-teams versatility, Williams can make an impact in an ancillary role.

Green Bay Packers

Round 2, Pick 59: Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State

Green Bay is fortunate not to have many major holes. While linebacker Quay Walker could depart in free agency, the board could push the Packers to address more minor needs. In a post-Kenny Clark world, an upgrade at nose tackle is necessary. There might not be a better option than Big Citrus. 

Positional value might dampen Orange's stock, but this is a team that expects to play deep into January. In those games, running the ball and stopping the run become incredibly important, and an Orange selection would reinforce the spine of this defense. 

Round 3, Pick 91: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington

This summer, edge and corner were the two biggest roles on the Packers' roster. It didn't take long for the pass rush to be addressed. Adding a corner with the upside to take on quality receivers will be a priority this spring. 

Davis has rebounded well since struggling at Arizona. He's playing the run better than in previous seasons and has flashed enough against Big Ten competition to believe a little more in his upside.
