Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Evans: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mitchell Evans had no business being available in slot 166, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Phillips reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 32nd overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Phillips at slot 96, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Fair-plus on Darius Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A tidy bit of business in the 162nd pick, where Raheim Sanders graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick No. 166 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
