Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Eagles.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Eagles took Tanner McLachlan at pick 243, roughly 24 spots before his name belonged.

The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 22 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They did well to land Devontez Walker in the 50th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick54 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in pick No. 54. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
Good price on MarShawn Lloyd in slot 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to pick 172. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
