Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedA- TradesF FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Latham: C-.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and JC Latham fell into pick 97. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

If Marvin Harrison Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in Round 2, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 JC Latham
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 97 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 160th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Taking Ben Sinnott in slot 170 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 178 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steele Chambers in the 240th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
