Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Eagles took Tyler Batty at the 168th pick, roughly 71 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 64th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 96, where Barrett Carter graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 161 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 26 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in No. 165 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They reached into another round for Tyler Batty, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
