Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Simpson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Jaylin Simpson, the No. 147 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 178th overall pick.

They are betting Lloyd proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 18, where Tyler Guyton graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 54th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
Value said wait; MarShawn Lloyd in slot 97 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slid further than he should have, and pick No. 137 is lovely value for the safety. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 163rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach No. 178 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylon Carlies this early at the 243rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
