Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Montrell Johnson Jr. a full 89 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Trotter Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in slot 45 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 58, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A reach for Jaylin Simpson in No. 157; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in slot 172 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at the 178th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Montrell Johnson Jr. in the 247th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
