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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Eagles walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransom. The James reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 51 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64 Rnd2 D.J. James
They jumped the gun on D.J. James, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They did well to land Darius Robinson in No. 147, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A reach on Devin Neal in the 172nd pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 178 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
The board had cheaper options than Brant Kuithe at the 253rd pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
