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

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Eagles never got to the one that mattered most.

The Cephus value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 22nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the 50th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 54 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at pick 97 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in No. 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Fair-plus on LaDarius Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Layden Robinson in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at Round 6, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus slipping to the 243rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
