Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles robbed the room for Winston Jr.. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kevin Winston Jr. at the 129th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Thornton Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A quiet steal in No. 64: Marcus Mbow for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at slot 129 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bhayshul Tuten in pick 166. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid sticker price for Quincy Riley in pick No. 169, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
