Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Eagles treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 23 on Tyler Harrell a full 106 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A reach on Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 54th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 97 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 137 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in the 163rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in No. 172 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They paid up for Andrew Raym at the 178th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell at pick 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
