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

The Eagles bet big and early on Ahmed Hassanein, 113 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Bassa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Paul Jr.
A reach on Chris Paul Jr. in No. 64; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Bradyn Swinson reach the 96th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in pick 134 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.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in slot 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Steal is underselling it; Dorian Strong at pick No. 164 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 165 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
