Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Eagles: B.

The war room fell hard for Que Robinson, and it showed at the Round 5 slot: 26 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Landing Watts that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 32 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at No. 64. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in the 96th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rylie Mills. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Que Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune slipping to pick 164 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
