Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

The Teddye Buchanan pick is the one that will follow the Eagles into the fall. They took him 63 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Belton to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 32 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at No. 96. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They let Terrance Ferguson come to them and pounced at pick 129. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to the 162nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Giddens at the 166th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
A big swing on Teddye Buchanan at the 169th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
