00:06it out for a lombardi trophy this past nfl season the eagles move up ever so slightly from 32 to 31
00:14with the kansas city chiefs who move back by a spot to end out the opening round in addition
00:19the eagles will send pick number 164 overall a fifth rounder to come on saturday back to kansas
00:26city and after the eagles make the deal kev the pick is now official and it is in the 31st overall
00:34pick of the 2025 nfl draft philadelphia eagles reigning super bowl champs have drafted the
00:40linebacker out of alabama jihad campbell a very highly touted prospect in this year's draft class
00:48in 2025 howie roseman been good at drafting those defenders out of the sec takes jihad campbell at
00:5531st overall this year sports were like hey kate uh could you do draft grades for us i said guys i'm
00:59a little busy but i'll get you one i gave it to him uh months ago i said here's the eagles grade a plus
01:05because that was a guarantee wasn't it it always was last year nfl world went wild oh how could
01:12buffalo trade with kc i hope we hear the same outcry he's got pants in the super bowl philadelphia
01:18eagles let him know what was what and then they allow the eagles to come up here and get one of the
01:2215 best players in this class at pick 31 thank you very much and by the way oh my goodness all
01:28of a sudden the eagles value middle linebacker yeah jack born nearly flirted with defensive player
01:35of the year they paid him get another great one in town eagles look pretty good to me super bowl
01:42favorites for a reason and they love sec talent don't they right you get a player that runs a four or
01:47540 can run sideline to sideline not afraid to hit and and steps up in terms of run support that's
01:54all you can ask for a wrecking ball in terms of the middle linebacker position and this is
01:59he's a young athletic player that could be utilizing a multiple uh looks throughout the
02:04regular season and provide depth for bone in that defense they are legit their defense and we talk
02:09about teams just being able to compete year in and year out that defense is going to be their
02:15top 10 for the next three years because of these type of players and talent in the last five in the
02:20last 10 years alabama has had the most first round selections out of any school in the 20 in the nfl
02:27draft that was their second first rounder going tonight tyler booker 12th overall to the dallas
02:33cowboys 31st overall jihad campbell goes to the philadelphia eagles so blue and cap a dominant defense
02:40that led the birds to their second lombardi trophy in franchise history might have just got another
02:45piece to make it even better cap what were you guys hearing and blue you can direct the conversation
02:50what were you guys hearing about what philadelphia's draft philosophy was to end out this opening round
02:56and we talked a little bit about how the lions just really trying to strengthen an already strong
03:01team the eagles the strongest team in the league last year they add a pick at a position where they are
03:07not known historically to make high draft picks but jihad campbell clearly ranked very high
03:13in a lot of prospect lists and he goes here at 31 mike this is a top 20 player and the eagles who
03:20typically don't do this once walter nolan their number one guy that they wanted went off the board
03:24early they just took the best player on the board now i know donovan as a rock who is a lot of guys
03:29a lot of eagle fans wanted this guy but guess what campbell's a highly highly graded player he's he's
03:35higher on their board and everybody's boards so now they got zach ball who's being paid 17 million
03:40a season who by the way mike was signed to be a backup edge rusher and a special teamer i mean this
03:45is what happens sometimes you're just lucking yourself howie risman's a great gm vick fangio the
03:50best coordinator in the league by the way they had the number one defense last season but they lost five
03:54starters kobe dean is one of them he tours he suffered a torn patella tendon he might not be back
03:59till mid-season he's on the final year of his deal this is a no-brainer this is a great value pick
04:04with a great football player and it's funny the guys were talking about going back to the sec the
04:08eagles really ignored the sec for two decades now nobody goes harder at georgia and alabama
04:14than howie roseman ben i'd like to burn about eight minutes here to keep it from going back to the
04:19desk but i have to get people involved uh as we like to pass the ball around
