Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Helm from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Gunnar Helm fell into the 169th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Batty pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. It is not that Stutsman is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 32 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jah Joyner in the Round 3 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, wide receiver and other spots to take Danny Stutsman, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick162 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, LeQuint Allen in slot 162, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Batty well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at pick 169 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
