At the end of the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, the Eagles sent the Chiefs a fifth-round pick to move from No. 32 overall to No. 31 overall. Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman says the player the Eagles selected was easily worth losing that fifth-round pick to get him.
Roseman says Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell was an elite prospect in the Eagles’ assessment and that they would have traded up even higher for them if the right trade opportunity had been there.
“We picked Jihaad Campbell, we made a small trade up just to ensure we could get him.
