Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Eagles: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jay Higgins at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That Bryant pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 32 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
No drama and no debate, Omarr Norman-Lott went about where he belonged in the 64th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 32, with Andrew Mukuba worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in pick No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 161st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They paid up for Jack Nelson at slot 164 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jay Higgins this early at the 165th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
