Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall

FutureB-
The Eagles got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen McLeod at Round 5, Pick 23, a reach of 48 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Nolen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 32nd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Demetrius Knight Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in the 81st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Nice patience on Xavier Restrepo, who had no business lasting to No. 117. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick 134 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 151 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jalen McLeod
They talked themselves into Jalen McLeod at pick 161, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 165th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in Round 5, Pick 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 189, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Vinson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
