So much talk about Bucs taking Jihad Campbell, but it was the Eagles who reportedly tried hard to get him after getting beaten out by the Falcons and their pursuit of James Pearce:
The Eagles "eventually" get Campbell:
"The Eagles kept trying to move up, with the Lions telling them they were staying at 28 and picking their guy, and the Commanders telling them they would require an extra big package to trade with a division rival. The Eagles ended up making a much smaller move, giving up a fifth-round pick to move up from No. 32 to No. 31 and taking Jihaad Campbell. Roseman said Campbell was a Top 10 player on his board, and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie informed Campbell that the team had spent the hour trying to trade up for him."
They were blocked by the Falcons
The Falcons traded their 2025 second-round pick, 2025 seventh-round pick and 2026 first-round pick to the Rams for the 26th overall pick and the 101st overall pick. That’s a huge price to pay — giving up next year’s first-rounder is something teams are usually only willing to agree to for a much higher pick than 26th overall — and Roseman expressed surprise when he hear those trade terms.
So how do you rank the moves?
1. Bucs not using a 19th on Campbell?
2. Falcons selling the farm for Pearce?
3. Eagles getting Campbell at 31st plus a 5th?
Who gets the best return on their move? second best? loser?
Congrats to Licht & draft team on sticking & picking in this draft. They picked good value, and took the value picks when they picked.
Between Bucs, Eagles, and …Falcons, one if these teams is not like the others.

Bucs, Eagles, Falcons
I'll say Baltimore smoked all 3 though. Think we would have been the #1 seed with Baltimore's draft
None of these guys have played an NFL down. Could be a bust, could be a Hall of Famer. Nobody knows.
Agree, while we’d love to think we did well, until they prove themselves on an NFL field, it’s all wishful/hopeful thinking.
