The Eagles are apparently determined to add as many 2025 picks as possible. 

The team has made its third trade of the day, sending picks No. 132 and No. 210 to the Lions for picks No. 164, No. 201, and a 2025 fourth-round pick. 

The Lions have used their pick on Utah Swiss Army knife Sione Vaki.

The prospect played on both sides of the ball during his time in college. On defense, he mostly played safety, collecting 92 tackles in 26 games across two seasons. 

He started playing some running back for the 2023 campaign and ended up garnering 42 carries for 317 yards and two touchdowns. He also added another 11 catches for 203 yards and three scores.

Considering that positional versatility, Vaki should have multiple paths to sticking around the NFL.
