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

Thirty-one other rooms let Malachi Moore slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at pick No. 164. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 2, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than slot 96 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Value with a capital V on Dorian Strong in the 134th pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 161, where O'Donnell Fortune graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
No edge and no loss on Jake Briningstool in the 168th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
