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

The war room fell hard for Jack Nelson, and it showed at the 161st overall pick: 19 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Fortune where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 32nd overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at No. 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Moore at pick 134, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 5, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 164th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A quiet steal in slot 165: O'Donnell Fortune for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in pick 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
