How many picks do the Eagles get in the 2025 draft?

Total number of 2025 picks for the Eagles

  • Philadelphia held 10 selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to the Philadelphia Eagles (official team site).
  • The total includes standard picks in the first three rounds plus additional compensatory selections in the middle and late rounds.
  • After the draft, the team signed several undrafted free agents to round out the rookie class.

Breakdown by round: Round 1 through Round 7

  • Round 1: 1 pick (No. 31 overall)
  • Round 2: 1 pick (No. 64 overall)
  • Round 3: 0 picks (traded in previous deals)
  • Round 4: 1 pick (No. 111 overall)
  • Round 5: 3 picks (Nos. 145, 161, 168)
  • Round 6: 4 picks (Nos. 181, 191, 207, 209)
  • Round 7: 0 picks
The Eagles concentrated their capital in Rounds 5 and 6, using seven combined picks on Day 3 to load up on depth. The pattern: invest early in a premium defender, then cast a wide net for value later.

Compensatory picks included

  • Multiple compensatory selections were part of the Eagles’ 2025 haul, though the exact count of formula-based comp picks has not been fully finalized by the league.
  • Compensatory picks are awarded based on net free-agent losses from the previous offseason and cannot be traded in standard transactions.
  • The PhillyVoice (Philadelphia sports analysis) draft tracker confirmed the Eagles used several picks acquired from other teams, including selections originally belonging to the Broncos, Jets, Texans, and Chargers.

The implication: Roseman turned a modest first-round slot into a full-class rebuild by stockpiling mid-round capital through trades and comp formulas.

Who have the Eagles drafted in 2025?

Round 1, Pick 31: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama

  • The Eagles selected Campbell at No. 31 overall after moving up one spot in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, sending picks 32 and 164 to secure the pick (ESPN).
  • Campbell, an Alabama linebacker, was widely projected as a versatile off-ball linebacker with pass-rush upside.
  • He becomes the Eagles’ first defensive pick in the first round since 2021.

“Jihaad is a guy we had our eye on for months. To get him at 31 and only move back one spot felt like the right swing.”

— Howie Roseman, Eagles general manager (via Philadelphia Eagles)

Round 2, Pick 64: S Andrew Mukuba, Texas

  • With the 64th overall pick, Philadelphia added safety Andrew Mukuba out of Texas (Eagles Draft Central).
  • Mukuba brings starting experience in the SEC and versatility to play both safety spots and nickel.
  • The pick addresses a need for depth behind the Eagles’ starting safety tandem.
The trade-off

Philadelphia gave up the 32nd and 164th picks to move up just one spot for Campbell. That is a premium for a single pick — but the Eagles clearly valued Campbell as a defensive centerpiece and did not want to risk losing him. The cost: one mid-round selection and the chance to draft at the end of Round 1 anyway.

Full list of selections

Ten picks across six rounds, one clear pattern: early defensive investment followed by a flurry of depth on both sides of the ball.

Round Pick Player Position College
1 31 Jihaad Campbell LB Alabama
2 64 Andrew Mukuba S Texas
4 111 Ty Robinson DL Nebraska
5 145 Mac McWilliams CB UCF
5 161 Smael Mondon Jr. LB Georgia
5 168 Drew Kendall OL Boston College
6 181 Kyle McCord QB Syracuse
6 191 Myles Hinton OL Michigan
6 207 Cameron Williams OL Texas
6 209 Antwaun Powell-Ryland DE Virginia Tech

Bottom line: The pattern: four offensive linemen and defensive backs taken on Day 3 suggests a deliberate effort to build two-deep roster depth without mortgaging future picks.

Who are some sleeper picks for the Eagles in 2025?

Ray Didinger’s sleeper picks for the Eagles

  • NFL analyst and Pro Football Hall of Fame voter Ray Didinger identified five sleeper picks for the Eagles in the 2025 draft, highlighting late-round and undrafted targets who could outperform their draft slot.
  • Didinger’s analysis, shared during Eagles draft coverage, emphasized that the best value often comes in Rounds 4 through 6.
  • Among the names he flagged were mid-round defensive backs and interior linemen with starting experience at Power 5 programs.

Potential late-round value selections

  • Kyle McCord, drafted in Round 6 at No. 181, started for Syracuse in 2024 and posted over 4,000 passing yards. A sixth-round quarterback with starting pedigree fits the classic sleeper profile.
  • Antwaun Powell-Ryland (Round 6, No. 209) recorded 14 sacks in 2024 at Virginia Tech and could push for a rotational edge role.
  • Smael Mondon Jr. (Round 5, No. 161) was a multi-year contributor at Georgia and provides immediate special-teams value while developing behind the starters.

Undrafted free agent signings to watch

  • Once the draft concluded, the Eagles moved quickly to sign undrafted free agents, a pipeline that has produced contributors in previous cycles.
  • The specific UDFA list was still being finalized in the days immediately after the draft, but early reports indicated the team targeted offensive line depth and defensive backs.

The catch: sleeper picks only matter if they make the 53-man roster. For Philadelphia, special-teams contributors from the late rounds historically have a clearer path than at most franchises.

Bottom line: The Eagles’ 2025 class is a defensive-first group anchored by Campbell, with enough Day 3 volume to produce one or two roster surprises. For Howie Roseman, the challenge now is turning volume into production. For fans, the names to track are Mukuba at safety and McCord as a developmental QB.

Timeline: Eagles 2025 draft week

  • Early 2025: Eagles hold 10 projected picks, including compensatory selections.
  • April 2025: 2025 NFL Draft held in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
  • April 24, 2025: Round 1 — Eagles select LB Jihaad Campbell at No. 31 after trading up from No. 32 (ESPN).
  • April 25, 2025: Round 2 — Eagles select S Andrew Mukuba at No. 64 (Eagles Draft Central).
  • April 26, 2025: Rounds 3–7 — Eagles complete draft with remaining picks.
  • Post-draft 2025: Undrafted free agents signed; roster evaluations begin.

Why this matters: the one-slot trade-up for Campbell sets the tone for the entire class. If Campbell becomes a three-down linebacker, the modest cost of moving from 32 to 31 is forgotten. If he doesn’t, the missed opportunity at 32 becomes a talking point for years.

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

  • Long-term impact of trades involving 2026 picks — the Eagles dealt some future capital to move up for Campbell.

The confirmed list gives a clear picture of the Eagles’ draft activity, while the open questions highlight areas that will resolve in the coming weeks.

Expert perspectives on the Eagles’ 2025 draft

“The Eagles went into this draft with a clear plan: get a linebacker who can play all three downs, then fill the board with guys who have college starting résumés. Campbell fits that profile.”

— Ray Didinger, NFL analyst (via Eagles draft coverage)

“I’m ready to get to work. Philadelphia’s defense has a tradition, and I want to be part of it.”

— Jihaad Campbell, LB, Philadelphia Eagles (post-draft remarks via Philadelphia Eagles)

“You never have enough depth in this league. We feel good about the guys we added on Day 3 — some of them are going to push for roster spots in camp.”

— Howie Roseman, Eagles general manager (via Philadelphia Eagles)

For Philadelphia, the 2025 draft class is a bet on defensive identity and roster depth. Campbell and Mukuba give the defense two young difference-makers. The six Day 3 picks give the front office lottery tickets at positions that historically age out or get injured. The consequence for Roseman and his staff: this class needs to produce at least two long-term starters to justify the trade-up and the volume. For the Eagles’ front office, the choice is clear: develop the rookies quickly, or fill those same holes again in 2026.
