Thanks to a slew of Day 2 trades, the Eagles got two players on almost opposite ends of Friday (No. 40 and No. 94 overall), and entered Saturday with seven picks, including three each in the fourth and fifth rounds.
There was A LOT more wheeling and dealing from Howie Roseman on Saturday, and in the end, the Birds ended up with six picks and some future draft capital as well.
Read below for some quick capsules of the Birds’ Day 3 picks, and remember, tune into 94WIP on Monday morning at 6 a.m. as Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie kick off a day full of Draft recap!

ROUND 4, NO. 127 OVERALL: RB Will Shipley, Clemson
Philly moved back four spots, dealing No. 123 to Houston (who selected Ohio State TE Cade Stover) for this pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder, and went with Shipley, who had 827 rushing yards, 31 catches for 244 yards, and seven total TD in 2023.
ROUND 4, NO. 132 OVERALL: TRADED
Philly dealt this pick and No. 210 in Round 6 to Detroit for No. 164, No. 201, and a 2025 fourth-round pick.
ROUND 5, NO. 152 OVERALL: WR Ainias Smith, Texas A&M
Smith played both running back and receiver in College Station, and was First Team All-SEC as a returner in 2023. He tallied 405 rushing yards, 2407 receiving yards on 180 catches, 1196 return yards, and 25 total TD as an Aggie.
ROUND 5, NO. 155 OVERALL: LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Clemson
The Birds traded up to get a legacy LB, dealing the No. 164 and No. 201 picks they got from Detroit to Indy to select Trotter Jr. You can read more about the selection here .
ROUND 5, NO. 172 OVERALL: G Trevor Keegan, Michigan
One of 13 players and three OL selected from the National Champions, Keegan was a three-year starter at left guard and was First Team All-Big Ten in 2022 and 2023. He was the fifth-ranked guard on PFF's big board.
ROUND 6, NO. 185 OVERALL: WR Johnny Wilson, Florida State
The Birds had No. 171, but dealt it to the Jets (who took Florida State QB Jordan Travis) to get this pick and No. 190. With this one, Howie Roseman grabbed one of Travis' receivers, a 6-foot-7 Arizona State transfer who played 23 games in two seasons as a Seminole and had 84 catches for 1,514 yards and seven TD.
ROUND 6, NO. 190 OVERALL : OL Dylan McMahon, NC State
McMahon was the Wolfpack's starting center last season, earning a 66.2 PFF rating that included a 71.3 pass block rating. He played both guard spots in 2021 and 2022 before moving to the middle, but if we remember back about 13 years, Philly struck gold with a smaller center selected in the 190s, perhaps a guy McMahon may eventually replace...
