Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Wilson: B.

The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jared Wilson, the No. 106 name on the board, in No. 161. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while cornerback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to the 32nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in No. 64 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Demetrius Knight Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves cornerback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 130 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Logan Brown in the 164th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
