Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles robbed the room for Horton. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tory Horton slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at pick No. 165. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Farmer left real value on the table behind him.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Amos at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the 96th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
By-the-book stuff, Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 134th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in slot 164, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They barely believed it either: Tory Horton still on the board at No. 165. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. A need, and now a little less of one.
