B

Philadelphia Eagles

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

Future B-

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Michael Barrett a full 30 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 15
Nice patience on Jared Verse, who had no business lasting to slot 25. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 46
A slide stopped in the 57th pick, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 61
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 87
Nothing to complain about; Christian Mahogany went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 100
Will Shipley in the 97th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 157
A wild overpay on Ainias Smith in pick 137, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 186
Value said wait; Trey Knox in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 192
Michael Barrett at Round 5, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 152
The board fumbled Joe Milton III all the way to pick No. 172, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Ben Bywater · LB · rank 184
Ben Bywater at pick 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 254
They paid up for Carson Steele at slot 246 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
