Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Eagles started one anyway for Cooper Mays, 129 picks ahead of schedule.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the 64th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in slot 96 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They liked Jackson Slater enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 130. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They took Jake Briningstool at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They barely believed it either: Logan Brown still on the board at the 164th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Upton Stout
A reach for Upton Stout in slot 165; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cooper Mays
They reached into another round for Cooper Mays, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
