Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 162: the Eagles steal Mukuba and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Andrew Mukuba had no business being available in pick 162, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Tuten proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 32nd overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 64, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 96 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Value said wait; Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4, Pick 28 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 162 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
