Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B to prove it.

The Eagles went off the board in a big way for Caedan Wallace, 41 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Bowers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. With cornerback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 22nd overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
The board had Javon Bullard higher than pick No. 51, and the safety fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A curious use of the 119th pick. Cornerback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 20 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in No. 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 171st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick172 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Caedan Wallace in pick No. 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They went early on Frank Gore Jr. in the 210th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
