They\u2019ll have six picks on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>They leave the first two days of the draft with two players: LB Jihaad Campbell in the first and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\/andrew-mukuba-howie-roseman-select-texas-safety\/662631\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">S Andrew Mukuba<\/a> in the second.<\/p>\n<p>After drafting Mukuba with the final pick of the second round, the Eagles had the No. 96 pick late in the third round. They then traded down to 101 and then made another trade completely out of the third round, ending their night.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the two trades GM Howie Roseman pulled off:<\/p>\n<p>Falcons get:\u00a03-96<\/p>\n<p>Eagles get:\u00a03-101, 2026 fifth-round pick<\/p>\n<p>And then when the Eagles were on the clock at 101, they traded back out of the third round in deal with the Broncos:<\/p>\n<p>Broncos get:\u00a03-101, 4-134<\/p>\n<p>Eagles get:\u00a04-111, 4-130, 6-191<\/p>\n<p>Here was general manager Howie Roseman\u2019s full explanation for the two trades:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were picking where we were in the third round, we were really watching the board, looking for opportunities to move up and watching where it was and where we felt like there was an opportunity to maybe get someone who was a little higher on our board. And then the opportunity where there was kind of a sweet spot on our board. As we got closer to our pick, we had a couple of opportunities there that we felt like maximized where we were on our board and getting that pick next year, I think we\u2019re going to be at 12 or 13 picks next year and a lot of them in the first five rounds. And so, I think obviously that\u2019s exciting. Not saying we don\u2019t have things we want to improve on this football team right now because we do. But we then felt like the move down to tomorrow gave us an opportunity in the fourth round here to kind of sleep on it and kind of get our board set and ready for tomorrow. Having six picks tomorrow, great opportunity to improve our football team on the third day. It\u2019s a really fun day for us. We just felt like it made sense to make those two moves with where the board was at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles will now have at least 12 picks in 2026 and they enter Day 3 of the 2025 draft with six picks in their pocket, which gives them a ton of flexibility to move around the board.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the Eagles\u2019 draft so far:<\/p>\n<p>Round 1-31: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama<\/p>\n<p>Round 2-64: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas<\/p>\n<p>Round 4-111<\/p>\n<p>Round 4-130<\/p>\n<p>Round 5-161<\/p>\n<p>Round 5-165<\/p>\n<p>Round 5-168<\/p>\n<p>Round 6-191<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles made their second-round pick on Friday night but then traded back twice and right out of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[80,1537,7,6,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-1539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-2025-nfl-draft","9":"tag-eagles-news","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-nfl-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114404315912767454","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
