Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Eagles did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They banked enough surplus on McCaffrey to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
They did well to land JC Latham in the 22nd pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 53 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at slot 120, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 171 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 172nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at No. 210 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
