Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had David Walker this high, and it is not close. The Eagles reached 44 spots to get him at pick 64.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rourke. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 David Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Walker well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at Round 4, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A reach for Willie Lampkin in pick 161; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy bit of business in the 164th pick, where O'Donnell Fortune graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
