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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent the 168th overall pick on Jalen McLeod, a name the board had a full 41 spots lower.

The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 60th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They liked Maxwell Hairston enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 72 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Farmer in slot 96, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Emery Jones Jr. this early at Round 3, Pick 38. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They reached into another round for Elijah Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A reach on Kyle Williams in No. 161; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 164 with a little surplus value in Tommi Hill. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaydon Blue a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen McLeod. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
