Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 169th pick lands the Eagles a B, Cornelius and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Ajani Cornelius, the No. 114 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 169. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need White III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 129th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at No. 162 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ricky White III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricky White III this early at pick No. 166. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach slot 169 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
