Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Eagles to a D-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Eagles shredded theirs for Howard Cross III. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Peebles makes the weekend a net positive.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 63 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Restrepo. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker in slot 97 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyle McCord at pick No. 133 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 134th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
No drama and no debate, Jackson Slater went about where he belonged in slot 143. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 156th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 23, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Howard Cross III well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 165. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
Circle this one: Aeneas Peebles at the 168th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A real head-scratcher, Jay Higgins in pick 180 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A reach for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
They read the board right and Craig Woodson was the payoff at pick No. 226. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylin Smith a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
