Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Eagles bet the future on Daniels. The board says F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Eagles did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. The Liufau pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

However the rest shakes out, Mustapha at that price is a win they earned. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 9th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in No. 50, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 59th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A surprising call. With running back still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 26 on Marist Liufau, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at running back to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Davis at the 104th pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in slot 137. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 156 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 178th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Nice patience on Omar Speights, who had no business lasting to the 213th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jeremy James
Fair-plus on Jeremy James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
