Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Eagles spent real capital to be 159 picks early on Jalen Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 32 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
A wild overpay on Shemar Turner in No. 64, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A reasonable price with a little left over, Gunnar Helm in the 96th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at the 134th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick No. 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Nash in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at No. 165 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaydon Blue a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
