Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Thursday, Philadelphia had Jihaad Campbell graded as a top-10 player on its board.

Campbell was the first pure linebacker the Eagles have drafted in decades, and after years of mostly drafting in the early rounds to ensure that they were stocked up at the offensive/defensive lines first and foremost, the past 12 months or so on defense have had an eye on the position groups further back.

Philadelphia Eagles earned an A- grade from ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., further solidifying Howie Roseman's reputation as the NFL’s premier draft architect.
