Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

The Eagles' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Grant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 32 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 111th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They paid up for Cody Simon at pick No. 114 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 4, Pick 32 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nothing to complain about; Bhayshul Tuten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A straight-up fair deal on Chase Lundt at No. 164, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 168 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
