Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles let Downs fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

Call it larceny. Caleb Downs sat on the board until the 54th pick, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

The Zvada reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

If Rueben Bain Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 23 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs in Round 2, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
The board fumbled Gennings Dunker all the way to the 98th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Fields at No. 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Lance went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trinidad Chambliss in pick No. 122. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They robbed the room for Caden Curry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A tidy bit of business in slot 137, where Jude Bowry graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Somehow Parker Brailsford was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Circle this one: DeMonte Capehart at the 159th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They read the board right and Zane Durant was the payoff at pick 179. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Taking DJ Campbell in Round 6, Pick 22 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 213th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kobe Baynes in No. 214, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They let De'Zhaun Stribling come to them and pounced at pick No. 224. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the 237th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
