Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Eagles: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Darius Alexander, 30 picks early at the 96th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

On value alone, Nash makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 32 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in pick 64, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dorian Strong. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They liked Jaylen Reed enough to skip the value, taking him in the 164th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Somehow Nick Nash was still sitting there in the 165th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
