Philadelphia Eagles 2025 NFL Draft Grades

The 2025 NFL Draft is officially over, which means it’s time to grade the Philadelphia Eagles picks. Howie Roseman’s squad has the best all-around roster in football, but there’s always room for improvement. Fresh off their second Super Bowl win in a decade, did the Eagles do enough to increase their odds of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in consecutive seasons?

First Round (31st Overall) – Jihaad Campbell, LB

How do the Eagles keep doing this? Every single year, Philadelphia seemingly finds a way to select players well past when they should go off the board. Jihaad Campbell is a borderline top-20 talent in this class and a perfect fit for this team, yet the Eagles got him with the 31st-overall pick. Giving up a fifth-round pick to move up one spot hurts a little bit, but it’s no big deal when the team finished the event with 10 selections.

Eagles Draft Grade: A+

Second Round (64th Overall) – Andrew Mukuba, S

After an unquestionably great pick to start their draft, the Eagles followed it up with a less conventional selection. Andrew Mukuba is a good player when properly utilized, but his struggles against the run may limit him to a part-time role in the pros. Still, he has a nose for the football with scheme versatility, and stopping the pass is more important than stopping the run in today’s NFL. Even if he never becomes a full-time starter, he’ll be a valuable role player for a perennial contender.

Eagles Draft Grade: C+

Fourth Round (111th Overall) – Ty Robinson, DT

Fans of old-school football will love what Ty Robinson brings to the table. The Nebraska product plays the game with a rare physical force, intent on crushing his blocker’s will on every snap. While this style of play comes with a lack of nuance that limits his overall ceiling, he’s a blast to watch and should be an entertaining rotational piece on one of the game’s better defensive lines.

Eagles Draft Grade: B-

Fifth Round (145th Overall) – Mac McWilliams, CB

For the second time in as many picks, the Eagles targeted a fun, physical player with technical deficiencies. Mac McWilliams is at his best when he can drop in coverage, keep his ears up, and pounce on the ball as soon as it’s out of the quarterback’s hand. More often than not, he can get his hand on the ball or give the receiver trouble at the catch point. However, he struggles to track the ball when his eyes aren’t on the quarterback, which can lead to deep completions. He shouldn’t be a starter, but that’s what you expect in the fifth round of the draft.

Fifth Round (161st Overall) – Smael Mondon, LB

Another investment in the defensive side of the ball, Smael Mondon has the physical traits, aggression, and overall willingness to start in this league as a middle linebacker. What he lacks is the ability to properly diagnose plays, as his good-but-not-great burst cannot always compensate for his slow start to chasing down outside runs. This could theoretically be fixed with the right coaching, but it’s a smart pick either way.

Fifth Round (168th Overall) – Drew Kendall, C

Do the Philadelphia Eagles need a center? No. However, passing on a player as good as Kendall late in the fifth round would have been a foolish decision. The Boston College product isn’t the most athletic player in the class, but that’s ok for centers and guards. Kendall’s borderline-elite fundamentals are more than enough to compensate for his physical shortcomings, making him an ideal backup who could start at a moment’s notice in case of injury.

Eagles Draft Grade: A

Sixth Round (181st Overall) – Kyle McCord, QB

Eagles fans understand more than anyone just how important the backup quarterback position can be. With Kenny Pickett now on the Cleveland Browns, McCord has a great chance to defeat Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the QB2 position. Coming from a pro-style system, McCord might not win Super Bowl MVP if Hurts goes down but he has the potential to keep a loaded offense on schedule if the reigning Super Bowl MVP has to miss a week or two with an injury.

Sixth Round (191st Overall) – Myles Hinton, OT

You can never have too many good offensive tackles, and Myles Hinton joins a crowded room in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Based on physical traits alone, Hinton could develop into a starting-caliber tackle. However, he needs to dramatically improve his fundamentals and overall approach to the game. Teaching him football from the ground up won’t be easy, but he’s well worth the risk at this point in the draft.

Eagles Draft Grade: B+

Sixth Round (207th Overall) – Cameron Williams, OT

The Eagles double-dip on tackle with Cameron Williams, a player with a remarkably similar scouting report to Myles Hinton. Much like his new teammate, Williams has the size and strength to succeed in the NFL but lacks the footwork to get the most out of his physical gifts. It will be hard to fit both players on the 53-man roster, but maybe one can make it through to the practice squad.

Eagles Draft Grade: B

Sixth Round (209th Overall) – Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE

Antwaun Powell-Ryland put up decent numbers in college, but he did it by dominating subpar athletes. This won’t work in the NFL, as the Virginia Tech product’s smaller arms, build, and overall speed significantly cap his ceiling. All sixth-round picks are far more likely to miss than hit, but it’s hard to see any way for Powell-Ryland to be anything more than an offseason camp body.

Eagles Draft Grade: D
