Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jalen Travis at No. 165 is 124 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr.. That quarterback 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 weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 32 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in the 96th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier safety value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Robert Longerbeam
They talked themselves into Robert Longerbeam at the 161st overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at slot 164. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 168th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
