Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Paul Jr. should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Chris Paul Jr. slides to pick 165, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos is a better player than slot 64 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at No. 96. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They read the board right and Emery Jones Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 134. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Somehow Terrance Ferguson was still sitting there in the 161st pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 164th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach pick 165 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Circle this one: Tai Felton at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
