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

The Eagles bet big and early on Marcus Yarns, 99 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Ratledge steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 32 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They paid up for Kyle Kennard at the 64th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 96 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chase Lundt in No. 134, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Marcus Yarns
Value said wait; Marcus Yarns in Round 5, Pick 23 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A quiet steal in pick No. 164: Pat Bryant for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A reach on Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 165; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A big swing on Jaylen Reed at No. 168, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
