FutureC
The Eagles answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: D-. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Eagles shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Oladapo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In slot 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They read the board right and Tyler Guyton was the payoff at No. 50. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Fair-plus on Ja'Lynn Polk, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 28. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and tight end still to address, they spent the 86th pick on Marist Liufau, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 97 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the 103rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 156 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
A quiet steal in the 172nd overall pick: Chau Smith-Wade for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader slipping to Round 6, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
They robbed the room for Kitan Oladapo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
Nice patience on Andru Phillips, who had no business lasting to slot 183. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Had Carter at No. 248 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
