NFL insider Albert Breer made it clear that the Philadelphia Eagles have taken a major gamble in the 2025 draft with Jihaad Campbell.

Why: McCord, at pick No. 181 overall, had an ACC record-setting season in 2024 for Syracuse after transferring from Ohio State. McCord threw for 4,779 yards last season, and should challenge Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson to serve as Jalen Hurts' backup. It's expected that McKee will have the inside track for the job, though.

The Eagles used a sixth-round pick on McCord, a St. Joseph’s Prep grad who led the nation and set an ACC record in passing yards (4,779) while completing 66% of his passes. Thompson-Robinson has been underwhelming in limited playing time, and it’s hard to imagine he’s not fourth on the chart right now.
