Eagles Add Defensive Talent, Make Multiple Draft Trades

The Philadelphia Eagles prioritized defense in the early rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell in the first round, Texas safety Andrew Mukuba in the second, and Nebraska defensive tackle Ty Robinson in the fourth. The Eagles executed several trades, notably trading out of the third round to acquire future draft capital and additional Day 3 picks. Campbell is expected to play multiple roles in Vic Fangio's defense, while Mukuba will compete for a starting spot in the secondary. Robinson adds athleticism to the defensive line after a strong college career. The team continues to build a young defensive core as veteran departures and salary constraints shape the roster. Tight end Dallas Goedert is rumored to be a potential trade candidate as the Eagles reshape their lineup.
