NFL Draft Results: Eagles trade up and pick Kyron Johnson at No. 181

With the 181st pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... Kyron Johnson, linebacker, Kansas.

The Eagles traded pick No. 188 and No. 237 to the Detroit Lions in order to move up to this spot, right ahead of the New York Football Giants. (And, sadly, right after the Buffalo Bills took Punt God Matt Araiza at No. 180.)

Johnson, who will be 24 in his rookie season, is an athletic defender who mostly played off-ball linebacker at Kansas before lining up as an edge rusher in 2021.
