Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Grand theft in pick 162: the Eagles steal Farmer and grade out a C.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Eagles sat still while Joshua Farmer, the No. 123 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The Lachey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Jalon Walker and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 32nd overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Steal is underselling it; Emeka Egbuka at pick 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Amos at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 96th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to pick No. 129, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at Round 5, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in No. 166, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in slot 169, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
