Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Ferguson from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Terrance Ferguson slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 64, and they pounced on premier safety value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to the 161st pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 5, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at No. 168. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
