The defending Super Bowl champions have one of the most complete rosters in the NFL. However, after getting contributions from rookies like Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, the Philadelphia Eagles know the value of a strong draft class as much as any franchise. How did Howie Roseman’s latest picks in the 2025 NFL Draft grade out?

Overall Eagles Draft Grade: A
In what is becoming a routine yearly exercise, Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a masterclass of value acquisition. It started in Round 1, when the Eagles managed to get Jihaad Campbell at 31st overall. It continued in Round 2, when the Eagles scored dynamic safety Andrew Mukuba at 64th overall.
The rest of the Eagles’ haul was peppered with stellar value additions. Ty Robinson can be an immediate starter at 3-tech with his explosion and motor. Smael Mondon Jr. is a high-level sub-package linebacker with elite coverage ability. Cameron Williams is the ideal developmental right tackle, and Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a superb late-round pick as a pass-rush specialist.
The Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions, and this class implies they’ll be in contention for the crown yet again. The defense is reloading, and the offense remains a scary unit, now with improved depth.
Grades for Every Eagles Draft Pick
- Round 1, Pick 31
Jihaad Campbell, LB | Alabama
Grade: A
It was almost certain that Howie Roseman would pull off another one of his masterclass Round 1 navigations. It’s unclear if he truly needed to give up the 164th pick to move up one spot, but it’s a small price to pay for the transcendent upside that Jihaad Campbell has at linebacker. Edge, safety, and cornerback are still needs, but Campbell’s value simply couldn’t be passed up.
Campbell won’t be available immediately due to a torn labrum, for which he underwent surgery after the NFL Combine. But the Eagles have the time and the infrastructure to be patient with his return, and once he’s fully available, he and Zack Baun will comprise perhaps the deadliest LB duo in the league.
At 6’3”, 235 pounds, Campbell has truly unmatched potential. He’s a former EDGE recruit with elite burst and bend in the pass-rushing phase. He’s a high-level coverage defender with the range and hip-leverage IQ to drop in zone and the quickness and fluidity to man up TEs and big-slot WRs.
And if he can improve his play strength and take-on technique in run defense, it’ll be all he needs to reach his astronomical ceiling. He’s an X-factor in every sense of the word.
- Round 2, Pick 64
Andrew Mukuba, S | Texas
Grade: A+
Howie Roseman stays winning. In Round 1, he pulled off a complete coup in value with Jihaad Campbell. At the end of Round 2, he did the same with Texas’ Andrew Mukuba. With a need at safety, Mukuba slots in nicely, and he has the fast-flowing playmaking ability to be a menace in both phases.
The only major flag for Mukuba is his weight. At 5’11”, 186 pounds, he’s lighter than preferred in contact situations. That said, it didn’t affect his play in 2024.
In support, he brings relentless energy and physicality, and in coverage, he’s one of the most dynamic, fluid, and malleable athletes when managing space and closing on routes. Mukuba’s combination of energized athleticism, flexibility, and tenacious zeal should render him an impact player in short order.
- Round 4, Pick 111
Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska
Grade: A-
It should surprise no one that the Eagles are attacking the interior of their defensive line again. They were dominant in the trenches last season, on both sides of the ball, leading the way for their Super Bowl run. After losing Milton Williams in free agency, Howie Roseman knew he needed to bolster the depth on the defensive front.
Robinson is a player who has shown tremendous strides as an interior pass rusher, offering upside to become an impact every-down starter down the line. For now, he has the toughness, size, and power to fill the void left by Williams and be a rotational piece alongside Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis in Year 1.
- Round 5, Pick 145
Mac McWilliams, CB | UCF
Grade: C - Round 5, Pick 161
Smael Mondon Jr., LB | Georgia
Grade: A+ - Round 5, Pick 168
Drew Kendall, C | Boston College
Grade: B- - Round 6, Pick 181
Kyle McCord, QB | Syracuse
Grade: B - Round 6, Pick 191
Myles Hinton, OT | Michigan
Grade: B
- Round 6, Pick 207
Cameron Williams, OT | Texas
Grade: A - Round 6, Pick 209
Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE | Virginia Tech
Grade: B+
