Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Quinshon Judkins at slot 164 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Alexander reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
No edge and no loss on Jalen Royals in the 63rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A wild overpay on Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slipping to No. 128 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 164th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
