The Eagles used a sixth-round pick on McCord, a St. Joseph’s Prep grad who led the nation and set an ACC record in passing yards (4,779) while completing 66% of his passes. Thompson-Robinson has been underwhelming in limited playing time, and it’s hard to imagine he’s not fourth on the chart right now.

PHILADELPHIA -- The 2025 NFL draft kicked off Thursday from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the Philadelphia Eagles took Jihaad Campbell with the No. 31 selection of the first round after trading with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles gave up the No. 32 and No. 164 picks.

But there will be other roster battles among the players signed in free agency, mostly veterans on a low-cost one-year deals. For now, that gives the rest of the rookie class a chance to adjust to the NFL. If they adjust faster, they'll play sooner.
