Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devin Neal slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 30. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Elzinga reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A tidy bit of business in pick 64, where Marcus Mbow graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Barrett Carter at slot 96 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to the 130th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They jumped the gun on JJ Pegues, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in No. 164, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Elzinga well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick168 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
