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

The Collin Oliver pick is the one that will follow the Eagles into the fall. They took him 106 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Thornton Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 32 they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 96th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They let Tez Johnson come to them and pounced at the 117th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Fair-plus on Nohl Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A conviction pick on Tyler Shough at pick 134 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the 137th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They paid up for Willie Lampkin at No. 161 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at pick 164 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in slot 165 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 168 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 223rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
