Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent slot 96 on Trevor Etienne, a name the board had a full 48 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

On value alone, King makes the weekend a net positive. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In No. 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 64 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Trevor Etienne
They reached a country mile for Trevor Etienne at pick 96, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at slot 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They will replay Tyler Shough at the 161st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Value with a capital V on O'Donnell Fortune in the 164th pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in slot 165 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at the 168th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
