Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Simpson: B-.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jaylin Simpson fell into slot 161. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Kinchens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 22 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 50, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They went early on Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 53, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 120th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to slot 171 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
