Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jay Higgins in the 161st overall pick, a good 46 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Nolen makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at pick No. 64 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kevin Winston Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at slot 134 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They talked themselves into Jay Higgins at the 161st pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 164 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in the 165th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They let Jermari Harris come to them and pounced at the 245th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
