Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in slot 164, a good 29 spots before the room expected him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In No. 32 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They jumped the gun on Jordan Phillips, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Fair-plus on Cody Simon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Value said wait; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the 164th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Reed well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 168, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
