The Philadelphia Eagles really, really wanted to draft Jihaad Campbell on Thursday night, so much so that Howie Roseman reportedly nearly had a deal done with the Chargers to move up to No. 22. Ian Rapoport explained that the Eagles’ GM tried to make a deal for picks 23 and 24 as well, but couldn’t get something done.
It didn’t matter though.
Somehow Roseman comes out of the first round, yet again, with an elite talent falling into his lap. The Eagles ended up getting Campbell at No. 31 and only had to give up No.
