Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 164 lands the Eagles a B-, Paul Jr. and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Chris Paul Jr. had no business being available in pick 164, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Every board in the league had Hamilton lower, and that gap is the story. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 31 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They went early on Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 31, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 95th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in pick No. 128, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at the 164th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at slot 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
