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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Eagles did exactly that with Howard Cross III in the 168th overall pick.

Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 32 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jack Bech
By-the-book stuff, Jack Bech at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slipping to the 64th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 32 with a little surplus value in Charles Grant. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Circle this one: Zy Alexander at the 118th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in slot 134, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Taking Kyle McCord in pick No. 137 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 5, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at the 161st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 164 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at No. 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 172 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They reached a country mile for Marcus Yarns at the 218th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
They paid a round early for Rayuan Lane III in No. 256, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
