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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Miles Frazier a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 54 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They talked themselves into TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 64, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
The board had cheaper options than Adisa Isaac at the 100th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T.J. Sanders. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at No. 128 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in pick No. 137; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A big swing on Zy Alexander at slot 178, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 253rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
