Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles robbed the room for Milroe. Final grade: B-.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jalen Milroe fell into the 134th pick.

They will need Robinson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In No. 32 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in Round 3, Pick 32 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 134 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 161 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach pick No. 164 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Nice patience on Trevor Etienne, who had no business lasting to the 165th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson in the 168th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
