Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Que Robinson at No. 161 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

It is not that Bassa is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 32 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Demetrius Knight Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at No. 96, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jeffrey Bassa at linebacker with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick161 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in Round 5, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Luke Kandra for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They paid sticker price for Jake Briningstool in No. 165, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
