Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles robbed the room for Branch. Final grade: D-.

The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Black pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On value alone, Branch makes the weekend a net positive. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
A tidy little value on Kenyon Sadiq in Round 1, Pick 23, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
They read the board right and Chris Johnson was the payoff at No. 51. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A quiet steal in slot 68: A.J. Haulcy for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at the 83rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
The board fumbled Zachariah Branch all the way to the 98th pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in pick 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They paid sticker price for Keylan Rutledge in Round 4, Pick 22, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 137th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in No. 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
By-the-book stuff, Matt Gulbin at pick 179 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They paid up for Kaelon Black at pick No. 198 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Toriano Pride Jr. at the 201st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
