Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Eagles treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 168th pick on Ahmed Hassanein a full 78 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 32 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 64 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They paid sticker price for Ashton Gillotte in pick No. 96, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 161 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 164th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at slot 165, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
A real head-scratcher, Ahmed Hassanein in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
