Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 161st pick lands the Eagles a D+, Williams and all.

The Eagles looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Que Robinson at slot 134 regardless, 51 picks early. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Nolen in pick No. 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 64th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo is a better player than slot 96 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 161 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick165 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune slid further than he should have, and pick No. 165 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 189 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
