Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Some picks age like wine; Anthony Lucas at the 58th overall pick will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Landing Neal that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel Pregnon in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Lucas this early at No. 58. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 68th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Somehow Julian Neal was still sitting there in slot 96, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley slid further than he should have, and pick 98 is lovely value for the safety. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy little value on Bryce Lance in Round 4, Pick 22, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 137th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 151st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
No drama and no debate, Matt Gulbin went about where he belonged in pick 179. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rayshaun Benny. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in slot 211 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
