Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Simon from sliding. Grade: D+.

The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Simon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at Round 1, Pick 32 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 45th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 64th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 96. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
The board had Joshua Farmer higher than pick No. 130, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They robbed the room for Nick Nash here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at slot 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
You do not let a running back like LeQuint Allen reach Round 5, Pick 30 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 189, where Nohl Williams graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
