Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 165 lands the Eagles a B+, Jeanty and all.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 27 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Eagles sat still while Ashton Jeanty, the No. 3 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Somehow Travis Hunter was still sitting there in pick No. 32, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 32 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in the 96th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 134 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to the 161st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at pick 164 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
