NFC East 2025 NFL Draft Grades: Analysis of Every Team's Picks

The Cowboys stuck to their bread and butter in this draft, beefing up the trenches instead of reaching for flashy weapons. While many expected Dallas to chase help for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, they doubled down on what's long been their identity: elite offensive line play. First-round pick Tyler Booker looks primed to step into the massive shoes left behind by Zack Martin, one of the franchise's all-time draft gems. With Booker now in the mix alongside former first-rounders Tyler Guyton and Tyler Smith, Dallas could be back to boasting one of the league's nastiest O-lines.

On the defensive side, both Ezeiruaku and Revel were viewed as fringe first-rounders by some. Ezeiruaku's tumble likely stemmed from size concerns, but he's a refined edge presence who should thrive across from Micah Parsons. Meanwhile, ShavonRevel—once fully healed from last fall’s ACL tear—has the length and instincts to become a real asset in coverage. For those screaming for more juice on offense, Jaydon Blue was a sneaky-good Day 3 pickup. He's got legit breakaway speed and makes defenders miss in tight spaces, exactly the kind of spark the backfield needed.

The Giants played it smart by not forcing a quarterback at No. 3. Instead, they pounced on the best player available in Abdul Carter, a top-tier edge rusher who can flip a game in a heartbeat.

He wasn't a glaring need, but you don't overthink taking blue-chip talent in a class light on top-end guys. The decision to trade back into the first for Jaxson Dart is more of a head-scratcher.

Yes, it's always worth rolling the dice on a quarterback, but Dart is still raw and has a long road ahead, especially after thriving in a QB-friendly system at Ole Miss. Sacrificing their second-round pick to get him didn't help the value calculus either.

Once back on the clock, though, Big Blue found some solid value. Darius Alexander adds power up front on defense, and Cam Skattebo is a bulldozing runner who could form a thunder-and-lightning tandem with second-year back Tyrone Tracy. Don't sleep on Marcus Mbow either, our No. 45 overall player brings rare mobility for a big man and could sneak into the rotation sooner than expected.

Howie Roseman's magic touch strikes again. While most Super Bowl champs are supposed to be picking at a disadvantage, someone forgot to tell the Eagles. Once again, they made the draft board look like their personal playground.

Jihaad Campbell, somehow still on the board late in Round 1, might just be the steal of the night. Ranked No. 14 on many big boards, the Alabama linebacker likely slid because the league undervalues off-ball linebackers. That's Philly's gain.

Campbell isn't just a sideline-to-sideline tackler, he's a legit pass-rushing threat who brings heat off the edge. A classic case of value meeting need.

Then came Andrew Mukuba, a hard-hitting Swiss Army knife who can line up at safety or drop into the nickel. Sure, his smaller frame might've spooked some front offices, but Mukuba's game speaks for itself. He plays bigger than he looks, relentless downhill and savvy in coverage. If he adapts quickly, head coach Vic Fangio might have the freedom to get creative with Cooper DeJean.

Don't overlook Ty Robinson, either. The Nebraska big man is a rare blend of size and athleticism, tailor-made for Philly's D-line rotation. And in Round 5, the Eagles might've unearthed another gem in Smael Mondon. The Georgia linebacker is one of the top coverage backers in the class and could make an immediate impact in passing-down sub packages.

The Commanders didn't have a ton of ammo heading into the draft, but they made their picks count. With limited capital, Washington landed a pair of high-upside prospects in Josh Conerly Jr. and Trey Amos, two players who could become pillars on either side of the ball. At tackle and corner, two major areas of need, the front-office added both talent and depth, setting themselves up to keep last year's momentum rolling.

Washington clearly made upgrading the offensive line a top priority this offseason, first pulling off a splashy trade for Laremy Tunsil and then doubling down with the selection of Conerly. It's a smart move for a team trying to protect its young quarterback, who's taken more than his fair share of hits. Conerly isn't just a patch job, he's a long-term investment with the potential to anchor the left side of the line for years to come. Add in a run-game boost, and this rebuild suddenly looks a whole lot more stable.
