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

When a board-topper like Olumuyiwa Fashanu slides to Round 2, Pick 21, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at slot 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
They barely believed it either: Laiatu Latu still on the board at Round 2, Pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 53rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in the 120th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A tidy little value on Luke McCaffrey in pick 154, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 171 with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 172 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They read the board right and Ro Torrence was the payoff at slot 196. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick210 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
The board fumbled Daijun Edwards all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
