Not even Howie Roseman could believe that linebacker Jihaad Campbell fell to No. 31, but he was excited that he did. The GM reportedly tried trading up with the Chargers and several other teams to get Campbell but couldn’t get a deal done. Still, the Eagles managed to get their guy — a linebacker who is super versatile and someone Vic Fangio can help mold.
Campbell wasn’t one of the team’s Top 30 visits during the lead-up to the draft, but Roseman and Nick Sirianni called their prospect visits fact-finding endeavors, and with Campbell, maybe they didn’t need any more information.
