Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall
D-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The Eagles looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Howard Cross III at the Round 5 slot regardless, 58 picks early.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in pick 32: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 63rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in Round 2, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
David Walker
The board had cheaper options than David Walker at pick No. 97, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the quarterback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at No. 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 156th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
A real head-scratcher, Howard Cross III in No. 164 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 168th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at slot 187 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
The board had Craig Woodson higher than No. 226, and the safety fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
