Eagles general manager Howie Roseman —surprise, surprise — wasn’t watching and waiting while his rival GMs made their draft picks. He was calling and calling and calling — “persistent and determined” — trying to move up because the player he wanted was falling down the draft board.

With the 31st pick, the Eagles selected linebacker Jihaad Campbell out of Alabama. Campbell likely fell to the end of the first round because of injury concerns after surgery to repair a torn labrum last month.
