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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jordan James tumbling to the Eagles in No. 166 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 31st overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in slot 63, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 95th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 160 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at Round 5, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
