Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Eagles bet big and early on Jalen McLeod, 42 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

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

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 64 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Moore at the 134th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick No. 161 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They reached into another round for Jalen McLeod, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
