Another value pick for Eagles
The Eagles selected Mukuba in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 64th overall.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia continues to stockpile defensive talent at a discount in this draft. Mukuba was a solid player for three seasons at Clemson before transferring closer to home at the University of Texas, where he continued to develop as part of one of the country's best secondaries. He had five interceptions and 69 tackles in 2024 at Texas. At 5-foot-11 and 186 pounds, Mukuba is a bit undersized for an NFL safety, though he makes up for it with his instincts and his ability to punch above his weight class as a tackler. C.J. Gardner-Johnson's departure leaves snaps available for Mukuba as a rookie.

Could have versatile role
Mukuba could work as both a safety and slot cornerback during his rookie season, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles selected Mukuba in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was expected to immediately serve as the team's free safety. That could remain his primary role, but the team pushed Cooper DeJean to an outside corner spot during offseason practices, and in turn used Mukuba in the slot in DeJean's place. It's unclear if this experiment will carry over into training camp, but the rookie could be in for a versatile role depending on DeJean's usage.
