Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Eagles shredded theirs for Nathaniel Watson. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Mims to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 22nd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 50th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in No. 120, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They talked themselves into Nathaniel Watson at Round 5, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
