Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Gore Jr. at pick 189 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Rosemy-Jacksaint steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 22nd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the 50th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They reached into another round for Zak Zinter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 James Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They read the board right and Brennan Jackson was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach the 171st overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at the 178th pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at slot 189, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Somehow Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 20, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
