Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Ceaser fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nelson Ceaser, the No. 165 name on the board, in pick 210.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Barner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 22nd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd5 AJ Barner
The board had cheaper options than AJ Barner at slot 161, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No drama and no debate, Javion Cohen went about where he belonged in the 171st overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
