Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Eagles took Jalen Rivers at slot 219, roughly 149 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 35 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 94th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in slot 96, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They paid up for Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 35 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick No. 134 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
They reached into another round for Joshua Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 161st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at pick 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Rivers in the 219th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
