Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Eagles put a flag in the ground for Richard Jibunor, 64 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The McKinstry value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 50 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A tidy little value on Calen Bullock in pick 57, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 97th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in No. 137 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 157th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick178 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in No. 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Value said wait; Richard Jibunor in the 246th pick says they were not listening. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
