Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Eagles let Logan Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Eagles ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They banked enough surplus on Logan Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Eagles clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No edge and no loss on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A clean, defensible pick in pick 50 with a little surplus value in T.J. Tampa. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 59 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 34, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at the 137th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Taking Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 248 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
