Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Eagles, and a C to match.

The war room fell hard for Steve Linton, and it showed at pick 169: 243 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Jack Sawyer and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Good price on Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 64th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in pick 129, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 R.J. Oben
A swing that ignored the value entirely, R.J. Oben well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans at slot 166 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Steve Linton
They reached a country mile for Steve Linton at the 169th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
