Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent slot 180 on Patrick Payton, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

It is not that Rodriguez is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first. That Hill pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Germie Bernard in No. 58. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
No drama and no debate, Keith Abney II went about where he belonged in slot 69. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
A tidy little value on Keon Sabb in the 98th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A reach on Logan Jones in pick 126; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at pick 150 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at the 180th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
The board had cheaper options than Trey Zuhn III at No. 207, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
