Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Stewart: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Evan Stewart at slot 163 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Stowers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart slipping to pick No. 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to the 92nd pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A premium they did not need to pay, Eli Stowers a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had DeMonte Capehart higher than the 161st overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 163 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
