Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Eichenberg fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Tommy Eichenberg slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Proctor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 22 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Taking Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 54th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 97 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
You do not let a linebacker like Tommy Eichenberg reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Steal is underselling it; Luke McCaffrey at the 172nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 178 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at slot 243 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
