Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

The Eagles put a flag in the ground for Sai'vion Jones, 73 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 32 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sai'vion Jones
Value said wait; Sai'vion Jones in the 64th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at No. 96 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick No. 130 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 161st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West at slot 164 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at the 165th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the 168th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
