Eagles Pick Up Extra 2025 Picks With Savvy Trades in 4th Round
Update: The Eagles made another trade to add a 2025 fourth-rounder as well.
The Philadelphia Eagles' wheeling and dealing over the first two days of the 2024 draft set the team up for even more moves on Saturday, as Howie Roseman entered the fourth round with a whopping seven picks at his disposal.
With some big names still left on the board to begin the fourth, Roseman had an opportunity to trade out if there was no one he coveted, and he did exactly just that -- twice, actually.
First, Philly opted to trade out of the No. 120 pick entirely, sending this selection to the Miami Dolphins for a 2025 third-round choice instead. This move was an absolute no-brainer, as it gave the Eagles a better pick than the one they were slated to use at 120.
Philadelphia was then on the clock again at No. 123, but Roseman opted to move down this time, sending the pick to the Houston Texans for No. 127 and a 2025 fifth-rounder.
With two quick trades in the fourth, the Eagles have now two extra picks in 2025 that they didn't own before, including a coveted third-rounder. Third-round selections are premium trade bait, but they're also valuable as ways to add talent that has fallen out of the first or second.
Currently without a fourth-rounder in 2025, it'd be no surprise if Roseman uses some of his sixth- or seventh-round choices to pick up another selection for the future.
