Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Ransom: B.

Call it larceny. Lathan Ransom sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 32 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They let Harold Fannin Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 32: Deone Walker for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick No. 134 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at pick 161. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in slot 164, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at the 165th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Steal is underselling it; Dorian Strong at the 168th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
