Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Eagles: B-.

The Kam Franklin pick is the one that will follow the Eagles into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Ferrell makes the weekend a net positive. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on running back is the choice that costs them.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In slot 10 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Jadan Baugh, a running back that was not the priority.
Pick97 Rnd3 Peyton Bowen
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Peyton Bowen at safety with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Samson Okunlola
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Samson Okunlola while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Amare Ferrell
Somehow Amare Ferrell was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick159 Rnd5 A.J. Harris
They did well to land A.J. Harris in pick No. 159, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kam Franklin
Kam Franklin in No. 166 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Faison
They talked themselves into Jordan Faison at pick 230, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edwin Spillman
They let Edwin Spillman come to them and pounced at slot 233. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
