Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Moore: B-.

Somebody in slot 164 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Eagles sat still while Malachi Moore, the No. 138 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Thornton Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 32nd pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at pick 64 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach Round 3, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They did well to land Cody Simon in slot 134, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid up for Chase Lundt at pick No. 161 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 164th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Bhayshul Tuten graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 168. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
