Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Bullard: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Javon Bullard, the No. 66 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 137. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 22 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They barely believed it either: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 97 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 137 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the 163rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick 172 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Nice patience on Cody Schrader, who had no business lasting to the 178th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Circle this one: Omar Speights at No. 243 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
