Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

For all the boxes ticked, the Eagles skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.

Cowing at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Edwards reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at slot 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A slide stopped in pick 98, with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Nice patience on Jacob Cowing, who had no business lasting to the 161st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A quiet steal in pick No. 171: Xavier Thomas for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
They went early on Daijun Edwards in the 172nd pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Nathaniel Watson at No. 210, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
