Eagles NFL draft picks roundup: Grades and analysis for each Day 3 selection

The final day of the NFL Draft has been a busy one for the Philadelphia Eagles, who used a variety of trades to accumulate eight total selections in Rounds 4 through 6.

Philly’s 2025 draft class includes 10 players overall, including six defensive players, three offensive lineman and one intriguing quarterback prospect.

The reigning Super Bowl champs entered draft weekend with three top-100 selections, and they wound up only making two of them. Philly traded up with Kansas City in Round 1 to land Alabama linebacker/EDGE Jihaad Campbell, and stood pat in Round 2 at pick No. 64 for Texas safety Andrew Mukuba.

A pair of third-round pick swaps led to the Eagles making eight total selections on Day 3. Here’s the rest of Philly’s 2025 draft class, with grades and analysis:

Eagles NFL draft picks, grades for Day 3

• Round 4, pick 111: Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska

Analysis: The Eagles need to replace the void left by Milton Williams’ departure in free agency, and Robinson fits the bill as a high-upside interior pass rusher. He posted seven sacks during the 2024 season, his fifth overall with the Cornhuskers, and turned heads at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine. He should add to Philly’s defensive line rotation right away alongside guys like Moro Ojomo and Thomas Booker IV. Grade: B+

• Round 5, pick 145: Mac McWilliams, CB, Central Florida

Analysis: This hits another position of need for Philly, which cut ties with both Darius Slay Jr. and Isaiah Rodgers this offseason. McWilliams was a Senior Bowl standout who flashed strong press-man coverage skills during the 2024 season. Most notably, he held up well in marquee matchups against Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillian; both of those players were top-10 draft picks. Grade: B

• Round 5, pick 161: Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia

Analysis: There it is! GM Howie Roseman had to add to his collection of Bulldogs products on defense, and Mondon makes it eight overall currently on the roster. Mondon slipped to Day 3 due in part to a foot injury, and the Eagles were happy to recoup some value on a player who could have been a Day 2 pick if fully healthy. He spent four seasons at Georgia, led the team in tackles in 2022, and was an All-SEC selection in 2023. Grade: B

• Round 5, pick 168: Drew Kendall, IOL, Boston College

Analysis: The Eagles didn’t have a true center behind Cam Jurgens in 2024, and that caused some worrisome moments as Jurgens battled a back injury during last year’s playoff run. Kendall could help fill a backup role at center with the potential to add depth at guard. He started 37 games for Boston College and offers a promising athletic profile, which is a must to stick with Philly’s offensive line group. Fine prospect, but EDGE help is needed. Grade: C+

• Round 6, pick 181: Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse

Analysis: Why not take a shot on the former Ohio State star who put up massive numbers at Syracuse in 2024? Sixth-round dart throws at the quarterback position is smart business in the NFL. Philly hit on Tanner McKee in the 2023 draft, and it will try to hit again here with McCord. Grade: A

• Round 6, pick 191: Myles Hinton, OT, Michigan

Analysis: The Eagles will eventually have to replace RT Lane Johnson, and Hinton could be a nice long-term project for coach Jeff Stoutland. He stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 324 pounds. That kind of size and length gives Hinton a chance to develop into a starting-caliber NFL tackle down the line, and Stoutland clearly likes what he sees from a player recruited to Michigan by Jim Harbaugh. Grade: B

• Round 6, pick 207: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

Analysis: Consistency was an issue for Williams, and he struggled a bit in the College Football Playoffs, but there’s raw talent there to make this a potential late-round steal. This is another “NFL frame” type of tackle prospect at 6-foot-5, 334 pounds with an 85-inch wingspan. Another project player for Stoutland to work with. Grade: B+

• Round 6, pick 209: Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech

Analysis: Finally, an EDGE rusher! Philly’s top position of need was largely ignored in this draft, which could signal how the team plans to deploy Campbell in Vic Fangio’s defense. The Eagles are taking a chance on Powell-Ryland’s unreal 2024 production, which included 48 total pressures and 14 sacks. He’s well worth a dart throw, but EDGE probably should have been addressed with more conviction in this draft. Grade: C
