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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Lander Barton at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 48 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Roberts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 23rd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A slide stopped in slot 54, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at pick No. 68 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Justin Joly
They took Justin Joly at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They let Will Lee III come to them and pounced at the 122nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in No. 137 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison at No. 151 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Circle this one: Chase Roberts at pick 179 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at the 201st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
