Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Eagles.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jay Higgins at No. 168 is 33 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 32nd pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 64th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in pick No. 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at slot 134 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They talked themselves into Jaylen Reed at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at Round 5, Pick 27. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A real head-scratcher, Jay Higgins in the 168th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
