Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Smith: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Brashard Smith slide 57 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Reaching for Conner left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 32 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Aireontae Ersery graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Taking Zy Alexander in the 96th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 130th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at slot 161, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at No. 164, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at Round 5, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at pick No. 168. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
