The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Laumea pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 17
In pick 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 88
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Elliss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 95
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in slot 101. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 98
Malik Washington in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 106th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 113
Mekhi Wingo at Round 4, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
They did well to land Matt Goncalves in pick No. 118, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sataoa Laumea in the 140th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 163
They took Jaheim Bell at par in pick 160, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
Kamal Hadden in No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Austin Reed · QB · rank 231
Value with a capital V on Austin Reed in No. 240, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
