Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Cole: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jay'Vion Cole tumbling to the Eagles in No. 68 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Addison Nichols
A reasonable price with a little left over, Addison Nichols in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jay'Vion Cole
They robbed the room for Jay'Vion Cole here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 A.J. Holmes Jr.
The board fumbled A.J. Holmes Jr. all the way to pick No. 98, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ McKinney in Round 5, Pick 13. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Makhi Hughes
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Makhi Hughes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
