Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles land in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Eagles shredded theirs for Tyler Batty. He came off 161 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

So much rides on Walter Nolen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 32 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in slot 64 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 96th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 162 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They paid a round early for Jay Higgins in pick 166, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 169 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
