Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Eagles did not so much draft Nyjalik Kelly as overpay for him, 48 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Nwankpa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at No. 54 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mikail Kamara. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Value said wait; Caden Curry in the 98th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Nice patience on Will Lee III, who had no business lasting to the 122nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
They read the board right and Eli Raridon was the payoff at pick No. 137. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nyjalik Kelly this early at the 151st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aaron Anderson at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in Round 6, Pick 22, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
