Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Johnson: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tez Johnson had no business being available in the 134th overall pick, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in pick 32, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at the 64th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Good price on Gunnar Helm in No. 96, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 134th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at slot 161 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick164 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They read the board right and Damien Martinez was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 27 with a little surplus value in Tommi Hill. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 James Burnip
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Burnip in pick No. 168. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
