Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Eagles let Howard fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Will Howard, the No. 101 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 161st overall pick.

They will need McLeod to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Nice patience on Josaiah Stewart, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 64. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 96, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at the 130th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in slot 133 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 134 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Will Howard
The board fumbled Will Howard all the way to the 161st pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in the 164th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in Round 5, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oronde Gadsden II. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They talked themselves into Howard Cross III at pick 196, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Craig Woodson in slot 226. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
No edge and no loss on Carson Vinson in the 228th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
