Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B-.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Eagles to leave a draft.

The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
They read the board right and Nick Emmanwori was the payoff at the 32nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason Taylor a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
By-the-book stuff, Ashton Gillotte at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kobe King
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kobe King in Round 4, Pick 32. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 161 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A conviction pick on Jonah Monheim at pick No. 164 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in No. 165 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 168th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
