Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Eagles: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Eagles skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Eboigbe steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will need Carter to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Burton at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at slot 54 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Justin Eboigbe at the 137th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nothing to complain about; Edefuan Ulofoshio went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in pick 178, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They liked Ja'Had Carter enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 243. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
