Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Eagles did not. Rylie Mills went at pick 249, a good 157 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 45 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in No. 97 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
They jumped the gun on Payton Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at the 156th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 172nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached into another round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in Round 7, Pick 29 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
