The Eagles finished the 2021 regular season with a 9-8 record and as the team prepares for their first playoff appearance under Nick Sirianni, attention is turning towards the draft as well.

The Colts’ two-game losing streak coupled with the Dolphins wins means Philadelphia is guaranteed of having two mid-first round picks due to both teams missing the postseason.

The Eagles will wait until they are eliminated from the playoffs to determine their actual pick in April’s draft.

Here’s what we know entering Wild Card Weekend.

The Eagles are returning to the playoffs after the Green Bay Packers dominated the Minnesota Vikings, who played without quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Philadelphia entered Sunday needing a win over Washington, and then several scenarios that saw either a San Francisco win over the Texans, a Saints loss to the Panthers, and or, a Vikings loss to the Packers.

The Eagles took care of business, but New Orleans held onto hope after they knocked off the Panthers to keep their hopes alive.

For Philadelphia, Sunday’s victory by San Francisco eliminated a potential three-way tie between San Francisco, New Orleans, and the Eagles.

Such a tie-breaker scenario would have provided the 49ers and Saints the postseason advantage over the Eagles based on their strength of schedule.

With Philadelphia now in the postseason, here’s how Week 18 will impact playoff seeding and we’ll also look at potential opponents.
