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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Payton Wilson, pick 98, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 22nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at slot 53 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They will replay Payton Wilson at pick 98 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Nothing to complain about; Dylan Laube went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
