Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent the 170th overall pick on Jared Wiley, a name the board had a full 29 spots lower.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A conviction pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 53rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 97 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They liked Sione Vaki enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 160. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in the 171st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at slot 178, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
