Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
Grand theft in pick 160: the Eagles steal Castro and grade out a B.

The board owed the Eagles one, and it paid up: Sebastian Castro, the No. 86 name on the board, sitting there at No. 160 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cornelius pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
A clean, defensible pick in No. 58 with a little surplus value in Shemar Stewart. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slipping to pick 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They liked Ajani Cornelius enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 95. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 128th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at Round 5, Pick 23 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 166, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
