Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Eagles.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DeMonte Capehart at slot 243, a reach of 22 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 22nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 50 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick54 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 54 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 97 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 172 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 3, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the 243rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
