Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Eagles.

The war room fell hard for Patrick Payton, and it showed at the Round 5 slot: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Allen. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Value with a capital V on Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 54, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht slid further than he should have, and No. 98 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
The board fumbled Kaytron Allen all the way to slot 122, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 137th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Nothing to complain about; Beau Stephens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in slot 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in Round 6, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
