2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Sweat dreams are made of these (tears from crybaby teams.) (19 Viewers)

todd is having a field day with this

Howie can’t sit still neither can Reid

Convo he says is probably laughter in the phone so we’ll take this guy yeah we’re taking the other let’s just swap 7ths and call it a day
 
Per rapsheet


After trading to No. 31, the #Eagles select #Bama LB Jihaad Campbell. The player they've coveted all along. In fact, they nearly traded for him at the #Chargers pick.

Edge guy Daniel Jeremiah compares to Edgerin Cooper
 
From our NFL Draft coverage: The #Eagles tried multiple times to trade up for #Bama LB Jihaad Campbell, thinking they had a deal with the #Chargers before LAC picked. Now, they get him at 31.
 
Tell you what, Fangio has Howie’s ear and I love it.
Same thoughts, as usual. Yeah man! Pay but $$ then DRAFT the consensus #1 ILB round 1. I haven’t seen anyone influence Howie this heavily before and I am 100% here for it. I can only hope we trade up a bit more to acquire a few DL spots and BPA it out. Feels like Mayer/Musgrave incoming at TE

Ya, I think Howie is a bit more easy going after the 2 recent Super Bowls, and Fangio turned a bad defense into an elite one that one it all. He definitely was in Howie's ear about this guy and when Howie had a shot at incredible value, he did his thing to get it.
 
Players available in Friday night’s rounds 2 and 3 include:

QB Shedeur Sanders
QB Jalen Milroe
QB Tyler Shough
WR Luther Burden III
WR Jayden Higgins
WR Kyle Williams
WR Jaylin Noel
TE Mason Taylor
TE Elijah Arroyo
RB TreVeyon Henderson
RB Quinshon Judkins
DE Mike Green
DE Donovan Ezeiruaku
LB Carson Schwesinger
CB Will Johnson
CB Shavon Revel Jr
CB Trey Amos
S Nick Emmanwori

3WRs I like, Two TEs, DE is a Philly guy too, Schwesinger, Revel, Amos are my guys

Howie and Lurie have always been big Fangio fans. I’ve been hearing it for yrs so to me it’s not surprising. This is one of those rare instances you don’t have to worry about a certain coach leaving and GM just asks him who he likes. It’s the same with Stoutland. Tell me who you like from the guys we and scouts like and give me a guy or two you like, and we’ll go from there.
 
I was at work and just following draft on phone. I LOVE the pick, but was confused about the trade. Moved up just one pick to take a guy KC wasn't likely eyeing. Have to assume Howie knew someone else was trying to move up for the same player?
 
My daughter had labrum surgery. Her doctor said a lot of people have torn labrums and don't even get surgery, they just deal with the pain. I'm not really concerned with this type of injury. 6 months post-op he should have all his shoulder strength recovered.

Pretty much what they did, to ensure no one moves up to take their guy. They got burned way back in the day trying to get cute - they wanted Brandin Cooks and I think he was 2 spots out before a team traded right in front of them. So now they will burn a late pick just to ensure they get their guy. Did the same moving up one spot for Jalen Carter.

They also wanted Russ Wilson had to take Foles. There were other instances too it happened in Andy’s draft years
 
Jihaad Campbell on the final big boards:
Daniel Jeremiah: 12th
PFF: 13th
The Ringer: 11th
Todd McShay: 11th
Mel Kiper: 21st
Mina Kimes: One of my strongest beliefs about this draft: If Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell falls, some team is going to get an absolute steal. Extremely high upside prospect.
And also: Draft Reaction
This defense is going to be fun to watch. 2 LB's that basically do the same stuff - sideline to sideline coverage, turnovers, pass rushers.

Maybe Vic will throw in a blitz here and there.
 
Jeffrey Lurie said the Eagles spend over an hour trying to trade up to take Jihaad Campbell. Thats how much they liked him.

Nobody wanted to trade but he fell to them anyway.

An anonymous NFL GM said they will not pick up the phone from Eagles GM Howie Roseman on Draft Day.

"Yeah, we're blocking all calls from the 215 area code into our facility"
