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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Kade Pieper, the No. 40 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 33.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
Tae Johnson at the 36th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in slot 97, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield in the 106th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They let DJ McKinney come to them and pounced at pick No. 143. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at pick 152 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Josh Hoover
A tidy little value on Josh Hoover in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
Mark Nabou Jr. in No. 234 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
