A closer look at Philadelphia’s tenth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!
You can check out my podcast feed here to hear more from me. I have a Patreon linked to my podcast if you want to support me further. Due to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I am doing All22 watch-alongs on every Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is really cool!

+ He is an insanely productive pass rusher for a late day 3 pick. He ended up with 25.5 sacks and 34 TFLs in 24 starts. That’s not a fluke. Powell-Ryland knows how to get after the quarterback and how to finish. There’s loads of good film here.
+ He’s an outstanding athlete. I wish we had agility numbers, but the speed and explosive numbers are fantastic.
+ He has a diverse bag of pass rush moves, but his best move is his spin move. It’s excellent. He has great hand usage to get pressure consistently. Just look at the spin!
+ He has natural bend, and his slight frame helps him flatten around the edge and turn tight corners with ease.
+ He plays with urgency and a high motor. He generates sacks late in downs and chases plays from the backside with real effort.
+ Forced nine fumbles over the last three seasons!
+ He played special teams in college and even managed to block a PAT once.
- He’s very undersized for NFL EDGE, with short arms and a compact build. The Eagles haven’t been put off by undersized EDGE’s of late, but it is something to note.
- He has a number of pass-rushing moves, but you don’t see any real explosiveness to his game. He wins with technique and pass-rushing moves. Can he consistently do that against much better opponents without explosiveness at the next level? It’s a tough projection.
- His run stop rate was very low last year (5.4%), and his missed tackle rate was high (19.1%). Despite this, I think his most significant issue is his inability to consistently set the edge. If you want to get on the field on early downs, this is a non-negotiable. He will have to...
