Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Eagles: B-.

The tape said wait; the Eagles did not. Jalen McLeod went at Round 5, Pick 30, a good 42 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. 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 quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Good price on Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 96th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
Value said wait; Tommi Hill in the 134th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They liked Kyle Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 161. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in slot 164 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the 165th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
