Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Eagles: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Que Robinson a full 85 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Ivey a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 96, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick166 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 5, Pick 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 169 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
