Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B- to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Eagles started one anyway for Isaac TeSlaa, 75 picks ahead of schedule.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Fortune value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 32nd overall pick they get a two-high chess piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ty Hamilton
They talked themselves into Ty Hamilton at No. 64, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick 96 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid sticker price for Hollin Pierce in Round 4, Pick 32, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kiser in pick No. 161, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 164 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in the 165th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They read the board right and O'Donnell Fortune was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
