The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t sitting quietly as the 2025 NFL Draft approaches — in fact, league insiders suggest GM Howie Roseman is planning something bold that could shake up the first round and reassert the Birds as NFC powerhouses.
Coming off a season that fell short of expectations, the Eagles' front office is reportedly zeroing in on trading up into the top 10, targeting an elite pass rusher or a cornerstone cornerback to immediately upgrade the defense. With both trenches aging and questions around depth, Roseman is said to be looking for difference-makers, not developmental projects.
But that’s not all — multiple reports indicate the Eagles are also entertaining calls on veteran players, possibly flipping experience for draft flexibility. It’s a classic Howie Roseman approach: outmaneuver the board, zig while others zag, and never shy away from a deal.
The message is clear from inside the NovaCare Complex: this team isn’t rebuilding — it’s reloading.
With Jalen Hurts still in his prime, a deep receiving corps, and a coaching staff hungry to get back to the Super Bowl, Philadelphia is treating this draft as a chance to tighten the screws — not tear things down.
Could Thursday night’s pick send shockwaves through the NFC? If the Eagles pull off what they’re plotting, you better believe it.
