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

The Eagles went off the board in a big way for Jared Ivey, 39 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Mukuba steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A real head-scratcher, Jared Ivey in pick 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deone Walker this early at the 64th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A straight-up fair deal on Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 96 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No drama and no debate, Hollin Pierce went about where he belonged in pick No. 134. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Raheim Sanders at slot 161, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A premium they did not need to pay, Quincy Riley a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 165th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 30, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
