Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Stutsman fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Eagles one, and it paid up: Danny Stutsman, the No. 101 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 1 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Asante has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 32 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in No. 51 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 64 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Will Shipley
The board had cheaper options than Will Shipley at the 147th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 172nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabriel Murphy
They let Gabriel Murphy come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 3. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
They talked themselves into Eugene Asante at pick No. 253, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
