Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent slot 168 on Jay Higgins, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In No. 32 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 82 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They went early on Ty Robinson in slot 156, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the 161st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 165 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They reached a country mile for Jay Higgins at the 168th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Fair-plus on Craig Woodson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
