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

You could see the war room lean forward. Jaden Hicks at No. 137 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at the 27th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in slot 97. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 137 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
The board had Dylan Laube higher than the 156th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in No. 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Carson Steele
No edge and no loss on Carson Steele in slot 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
