Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: RJ Harvey in Round 7, Pick 21, a good 122 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Nwankpa pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 25th pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
A reach on Jay Higgins in pick No. 57; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
They robbed the room for Xavier Nwankpa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kobe Hudson
A real head-scratcher, Kobe Hudson in Round 4, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They liked Tyler Baron enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 153. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd7 Stone Handy
Stone Handy in pick No. 202 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
This one needs a full-page explanation: RJ Harvey in the 213th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jacobe Covington
Jacobe Covington in pick 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
