Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Eagles: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Eagles left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Barrett pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 22 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 54th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in No. 97; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 160th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in pick No. 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
They took Delmar Glaze at par in pick 178, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in Round 7, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
