Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Eagles: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Eagles walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That Tuten pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 64th pick with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Sebastian Castro for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Gabriel at pick No. 134 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in pick 161 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nice patience on Bhayshul Tuten, who had no business lasting to No. 164. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 James Burnip
Good price on James Burnip in slot 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They did well to land Ben Sauls in the 168th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
