Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

The Eagles spent real capital to be 52 picks early on Braden Fiske, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Melton pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, safety and other spots. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In No. 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A big swing on Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 64 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 84th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Max Melton
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Max Melton at defensive back with edge rusher, safety and other spots open.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 137th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Nesbit in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
The board had cheaper options than Bru McCoy at No. 178, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fentrell Cypress II well ahead of where he belonged. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick251 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at slot 251 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
A real head-scratcher, Braden Fiske in pick No. 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
