Philadelphia Eagles
A solid, sensible weekend for the Eagles: B.

2024 NFL Draft

For all the boxes ticked, the Eagles skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the 50th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in slot 53, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Braelon Allen at pick No. 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke McCaffrey in No. 170. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A clean, defensible pick in the 171st pick with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Walter Rouse in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sheridan Jones at slot 240. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
