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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent Round 3, Pick 34 on MarShawn Lloyd, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 22nd pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Byron Murphy II in slot 50. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 54, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: MarShawn Lloyd in pick 97, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 5, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
The board had Jaylin Simpson higher than pick No. 163, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
They went early on Ethan Driskell in slot 172, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 178 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
