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

You could see the war room lean forward. Harold Fannin Jr. at the 128th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 63 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the 95th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 128 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 160 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 164th overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 5, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
