Winning Super Bowl LIX wasn’t enough for the Philadelphia Eagles. Not resting on their laurels, the Eagles approached the 2025 NFL Draft with a renewed hunger to reload on the fly. The consensus is that executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman delivered – once again.
With a draft class haul loaded with athleticism, versatility, and pure upside, the Eagles walked away with one of the league’s best NFL Draft grades and even more firepower to defend their championship in 2025. While the draft is ultimately a gamble, on paper, the Eagles may have extended their championship window with the new additions.
Eagles Reload for Another Title Run With Top-Rated NFL Draft Class
The Eagles received an “A” draft grade by PFSN, only one of five teams to score this highly.
Philadelphia’s draft started with a masterclass move by finding first-round value at the bottom of the board. At No. 31, the Eagles selected former University of Alabama standout Jihaad Campbell to give their linebacking corps an elite athlete with game-changing potential.
Many believed Campbell would be off the board by the time Philadelphia was on the clock, but his injury situation likely made other franchises a bit gun-shy. Campbell, who was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, had surgery in March to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. There’s no timetable set for the return of the promising prospect.
At No. 64, the Eagles then selected Andrew Mukuba, a fast, rangy safety out of Texas who’s expected to make an impact in the defensive backfield. Although Mukuba projects more as a free safety prospect, the Eagles’ current strong safety depth chart features Lewis Cine, Sydney Brown, and Andre’ Sam – a trio that has combined for only six total NFL starts. Adding Mukuba to this safety room gives the team more depth and flexibility.
From there, the Eagles stayed aggressive, adding defensive tackle Ty Robinson, linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., and offensive tackle Cameron Williams. Each of those picks filled team holes without sacrificing value.
Roseman’s ability to settle short-term needs while keeping a long-term focus was fully displayed during the draft. Even with a few developmental swings late in the draft, the Eagles secured some of the highest-graded prospects at key positions. If this rookie class lives up to its billing, Philadelphia won’t just be a Super Bowl contender in 2025; the franchise will be positioned to stay among the league’s elite for years to come.
Since 2017, the Eagles have reached the Super Bowl three times, winning twice. The franchise has only failed to reach the playoffs once during this span.
