The Eagles finished up the 2025 NFL Draft with a total of 10 selections, all of them being in the Top 250 picks.
Even without a 7th round pick, they still ended up with double digit draft picks.
According to Sharp Football Analysis, the Eagles were 4th in Most Valuable Draft Class, based on Draft Capital Over Expectation. (Expected draft position vs Actual draft position).
Now, let's dive into each selection.
Jihaad Campbell, LB/EDGE, Alabama (Round 1; Pick 31)
Campbell is a player who simply has a nose for the football. He's incredibly versatile, having played both off-ball linebacker and edge rusher at a top SEC institution in Alabama. Campbell has 183 combined tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles in the past two seasons. Given Nakobe Dean's injury history, this is a very safe pick in a position of need for the Philadelphia Eagles. After re-signing Zack Baun, Campbell will be able to form an excellent linebacker combo in the middle of the field, capable of rushing the quarterback and getting into the backfield.
Andrew Mukuba, Safety, Texas (Round 2; Pick 64)
Mukuba is an extremely instinctive and physical player with plenty of experience. Four-year starter with three seasons at Clemson and one at Texas, and lots of productivity to back it up. Last season at Texas, he played 401 coverage snaps and surrendered only 76 total yards, 0 touchdowns, 12.1 passer rating, and an 89.7 coverage grade. The Eagles' current safety room includes Reed Blankenship, Sydney Brown, Lewis Cine, and Tristin McCollum, so Mukaba will have the opportunity to rotate in early and often to begin his career. Overall, he possesses the character and playmaking skills to thrive in a system like the Eagles.

Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska (Round 4; Pick 111)
Big, thin frame for the modern defensive tackle, listed at 6'5" and weighing 288 pounds. He is an insane athlete given his stature, running the fastest 40 yard dash for DTs in 4.83 seconds (92nd percentile). Robinson burst out in his final year after a lack of production in his previous years. In 13 games, he recorded 37 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 7 sacks (12% pressure rate), 4 pass breakups, and 1 forced fumble, earning him third-team All-Big Ten accolades. He has a lot of potential with the talents and qualities to grow into a good fit for Philadelphia.

Mac McWilliams, CB, UCF (Round 5; Pick 145)
McWilliams is a very explosive type of athlete who is very physical and not afraid to get dirty. Quick & twitchy are two words that come to mind when watching his tape from the 2024 season. McWilliams ran a 4.41 40 yard dash with a 1.52 10 yard split at the combine, and his speed carries over into the game. In his past 30 games, he recorded 23 pass defenses, 2 interceptions, and 9.5 tackles for loss. McWilliams is a guy who has to work on a few minor details but has the potential to be a valuable contributor.

Smael Mondon Jr., Georgia, LB (Round 5; Pick 161)
Howie goes back to the well, drafting another Georgia defensive player. Former 5 star recruit & Top 30 overall prospect nationally, Mondon has been a very productive linebacker for the last 3 seasons, racking up 201 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, & 7 sacks. He had a very good combine, running a 4.58 40 yard dash (Tied 6th as a LB) & 1.52 10 yard split (Tied 1st as a LB). His main red flags are his size, listed at 6’2” 224 LBS, & his history of injuries. Mondon has had a few injuries the past 2 seasons which caused him to miss a few games, as they kept lingering around. If he can stay on the field, Howie may have found another Georgia gem in the late rounds.

Drew Kendall, C, Boston College (Round 5; Pick 168)
Kendall has started 37 games in the last three seasons, demonstrating his ability to play at a high level. He was named First Team All-ACC in his final season at Boston College. His father, Pete Kendall, was a first-round choice for the Seattle Seahawks in 1996 and played 13 seasons. Kendall is an athletic and seasoned Center who can benefit from an exceptional coach like Jeff Stoutland. Drew is not the most powerful player, which is why his stock was not as high. However, he does not need to be forced into playing early, which will benefit him greatly in the future, and he can learn a lot from current Eagles center Cam Jergens.

Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse (Round 6; Pick 181)
Another hometown kid taken by the Eagles, as Mccord grew up in Philadelphia and attended Saint Joe's Prep High SchoolMcCord led the nation in passing yards with 4,779 (ACC Record), which was 466 yards more than the next closest player who happened to be the number 1 overall pick, Cam Ward. He set school records with 391 competitions, 592 pass attempts, and 5th with 34 passing touchdowns, high volume but had the numbers to go with it as well. Overall, he will most likely be the Eagles 3rd string behind Tanner Mckee, but has the talent to be a very good backup in the league.

Myles Hinton, OT, Michigan (6th Round; Pick 191)
Similar to Drew Kendall, Hinton’s father, Chris Hinton, played in the NFL. He was the 4th overall pick out of Northwestern to the Denver Broncos in 1983, going on to win 7 Pro Bowls. Myles has elite size, as he is listed at 6’7” 323 LBS with 34 ⅛ inch arms. He has a ton of upside with that size, but needs to become more consistent overall as a player. Coming into a system behind Jordan Mailata & Lane Johnson is the best case scenario for a player like Hinton.

Cameron Williams, OT, Texas (Round 6; Pick 207)
Williams is a younger player with only 16 career starts, but has the tools to really develop into a starting offensive lineman in the future. Many have said that if he stayed at Texas, he would be a 1st round pick in next year's draft. He isn’t the most athletic player that you'll watch, but he is very strong at the point of attack. Williams is better in the run game, playing downhill with his massive frame. He has had some foot injuries in the past which is the main concern for Williams. Overall, he is a project piece with great upside.
Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech (Round 6; Pick 209)
Powell-Ryland is among the most productive pass rushers in this class. He was third in the nation in sacks last season with 16, trailing just Mike Green and Donovan Ezeiruaku. He has 25.5 total sacks over the last two seasons, which is the most in the FBS in that time. Since 2018, just two players have recorded more sacks over two seasons: Will Anderson (27.7) and Chase Young (27). Received first-team All-ACC and third-team All-American honors. His stature and length are a major worry, as he is listed as 6'3" and weighs 258 pounds. The production he generated is difficult to overlook, but he still has a lot of opportunity for further development.
