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

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brenden Rice fell into No. 97. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They are betting Powers-Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 20 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 22 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khristian Boyd at the 170th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at No. 171 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Value said wait; Josh Proctor in the 178th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Steal is underselling it; Jawhar Jordan at Round 7, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
