Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Eagles spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Joshua Farmer, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Joshua Farmer
They talked themselves into Joshua Farmer at the 64th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 96, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 134th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
The board had cheaper options than Jaydon Blue at No. 161, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
By-the-book stuff, Chase Lundt at the 165th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
A real head-scratcher, Caleb Ransaw in No. 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
