Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Felton: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Tai Felton slide 83 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 64 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at the 96th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Belton at pick 129 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They robbed the room for Tai Felton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at No. 166 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
