Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Somebody took the Eagles to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The final tally is a middling C.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The De'Von Achane deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Hit on Dallas Turner and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 26th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in pick 97 with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 132 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
