The Eagles treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 240 on Taulia Tagovailoa a full 36 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
T.J. Tampa at No. 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Good price on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Beau Brade at slot 148 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
They took Jaheim Bell at par in pick No. 160, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
A wild overpay on Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 240, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
