The Eagles moved up one spot to select linebacker Jihaad Campbell of Alabama with the 31st overall pick. Campbell is a native of nearby Erial, New Jersey, and he spent his first three years of high school at Timber Creek — about 17 miles from Philadelphia’s home stadium, Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles started the draft with a likely edge rusher and ended it with one. The 6-3, 258-pound Powell-Ryland had just four sacks in three years at Florida before breaking out in his final two seasons at Virginia Tech with 25 1/2 sacks in 25 games.

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.
