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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Eagles did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Tate lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Tupuola-Fetui to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 22nd pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 50th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They liked Jaden Hicks enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 97. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 1 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
By-the-book stuff, Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They let Zion Tupuola-Fetui come to them and pounced at No. 178. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Demorie Tate
Demorie Tate at the 243rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
