Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Eagles this weekend: D-.

Some picks age like wine; Cobee Bryant at slot 140 will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Shough pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 32 they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at No. 64 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 80th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in Round 3, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A slide stopped in pick No. 116, with Malachi Moore worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A tidy little value on Shemar Turner in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They talked themselves into Cobee Bryant at the 140th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick No. 162 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They read the board right and Ryan Fitzgerald was the payoff at No. 166. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 30 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They took Marcus Yarns at par in slot 234, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
