Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Thursday, Philadelphia had Jihaad Campbell graded as a top-10 player on its board.

That didn't help those same executives. Philadelphia still moved up to draft Jihaad Campbell with the 31st overall pick in the 2025 draft - a linebacker that was a top 10 player in most draft boards around. Perhaps those same executives have only themselves to blame at this point, though.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman —surprise, surprise — wasn’t watching and waiting while his rival GMs made their draft picks. He was calling and calling and calling — “persistent and determined” — trying to move up because the player he wanted was falling down the draft board.
