The 2025 NFL draft was another outstanding event. Over the three-day weekend, the Eagles landed ten impact players, including former Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell.
With the draft night dust now settled, Philadelphia and 31 teams will begin holding rookie minicamps this weekend and next weekend. The Eagles will have ten draft picks and about 15-20 undrafted rookies who have either signed contracts with the team or are at the NovaCare Complex for a tryout.
The Super Bowl champions are moving through phase one of the off-season workout program, and we're looking at the ten players most impacted by the draft outcome.
Who won and lost some leverage over the weekend?
The Eagles acquired the former UCLA star in a trade that sent Kenny Pickett to Cleveland. Upon arriving, Thompson-Robinson talked about playing Chess with Jalen Hurts, and he offered elite athleticism at the position. Fast-forward a few weeks, and Philadelphia drafted former Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord in the sixth round. Philadelphia will carry four quarterbacks throughout the summer, but Roseman drafted McCord, and he fits what the Eagles do with the deep ball.
Dotson had his fifth-year option declined, but then won the weekend after the Eagles bypassed drafting a receiver in any round of the three-day event. After getting adjusted, Dotson struggled to adjust, but saw his best productivity during the run to the Super Bowl. During the playoffs, Dotson had three big catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. Dotson will battle former 2021 second-round pick Terrace Marshall Jr. for snaps, but he's the favorite to be Philadelphia's third wide receiver.
The Eagles drafted three offensive linemen, Drew Kendall (G/C), Myles Hinton (G/T), and Cameron Williams (T), who are developmental prospects who could become future starters. But for now, Steen and Green will battle for the coveted right guard spot.
Philadelphia didn't draft a tight end, and unless a team blows Howie Roseman away, Goedert is expected to play out the final year of his contract.
The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Houston for Kenyon Green, opening up a starting role for Sydney Brown or Tristin McCollum. Brown is a physical safety who is stout on special teams but doesn't operate efficiently in space or match up against elite pass catchers. Enter Andrew Mukuba, a Swiss army knife from Texas who could keep Brown relegated to special team duties. Mukuba can play the slot, operate in space, and play with range, drawing comparisons to Gardner-Johnson.
Philadelphia didn't land Walter Nolen and waited until Round 4 to land Ty Brown out of Nebraska. Even with the pick, Ojomo still maintains his role as a pass-rushing defensive tackle, who can play on the edge in specific situations, and potentially replace Milton Williams's pass-rush prowess.
Dean is recovering from a severe injury and is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Trotter Jr. was expected to see more snaps after Dean's injury and Oren Burks' departure. Enter Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 31 overall after sliding down draft boards following a shoulder injury. Campbell sees himself in the mold of a Zack Baun or Fred Warner, while the Eagles could value Campbell more as an elite pass rusher. Either situation leaves Dean as a potential odd man out in 2026, and Trotter as a reserve his first two seasons.

Who won and lost some leverage over the weekend?
Loser -- QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson
The Eagles acquired the former UCLA star in a trade that sent Kenny Pickett to Cleveland. Upon arriving, Thompson-Robinson talked about playing Chess with Jalen Hurts, and he offered elite athleticism at the position. Fast-forward a few weeks, and Philadelphia drafted former Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord in the sixth round. Philadelphia will carry four quarterbacks throughout the summer, but Roseman drafted McCord, and he fits what the Eagles do with the deep ball.
Winner - WR Jahan Dotson
Dotson had his fifth-year option declined, but then won the weekend after the Eagles bypassed drafting a receiver in any round of the three-day event. After getting adjusted, Dotson struggled to adjust, but saw his best productivity during the run to the Super Bowl. During the playoffs, Dotson had three big catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. Dotson will battle former 2021 second-round pick Terrace Marshall Jr. for snaps, but he's the favorite to be Philadelphia's third wide receiver.
Winners- OL Tyler Steen/Kenyon Green
The Eagles drafted three offensive linemen, Drew Kendall (G/C), Myles Hinton (G/T), and Cameron Williams (T), who are developmental prospects who could become future starters. But for now, Steen and Green will battle for the coveted right guard spot.
Winner -TE Dallas Goedert
Philadelphia didn't draft a tight end, and unless a team blows Howie Roseman away, Goedert is expected to play out the final year of his contract.
Loser-DB Sydney Brown
The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Houston for Kenyon Green, opening up a starting role for Sydney Brown or Tristin McCollum. Brown is a physical safety who is stout on special teams but doesn't operate efficiently in space or match up against elite pass catchers. Enter Andrew Mukuba, a Swiss army knife from Texas who could keep Brown relegated to special team duties. Mukuba can play the slot, operate in space, and play with range, drawing comparisons to Gardner-Johnson.
Winner-Moro Ojomo
Philadelphia didn't land Walter Nolen and waited until Round 4 to land Ty Brown out of Nebraska. Even with the pick, Ojomo still maintains his role as a pass-rushing defensive tackle, who can play on the edge in specific situations, and potentially replace Milton Williams's pass-rush prowess.
Losers -Nakobe Dean/Jeremiah Trotter
Dean is recovering from a severe injury and is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Trotter Jr. was expected to see more snaps after Dean's injury and Oren Burks' departure. Enter Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 31 overall after sliding down draft boards following a shoulder injury. Campbell sees himself in the mold of a Zack Baun or Fred Warner, while the Eagles could value Campbell more as an elite pass rusher. Either situation leaves Dean as a potential odd man out in 2026, and Trotter as a reserve his first two seasons.
Winner-Jalyx Hunt
