Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

The Eagles looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Xavier Thomas at pick No. 172 regardless, 83 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Fashanu value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Taking Olumuyiwa Fashanu in Round 2, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Somehow Tyler Nubin was still sitting there in slot 54, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 97, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braelon Allen at pick No. 163 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in slot 178 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 23 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
