Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Eagles: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent the Round 7 slot on Rylie Mills, a name the board had a full 150 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Wiggins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
In No. 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
The board had Nate Wiggins higher than slot 45, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 60th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid up for Audric Estime at pick No. 97 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at pick 137 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in No. 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
A real head-scratcher, Nelson Ceaser in pick No. 178 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at the 195th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
