Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jay Higgins; the Eagles did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at the 168th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Mukuba that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 32 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 64 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in the 96th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Nohl Williams for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick 161 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 26 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
The board had cheaper options than Jack Nelson at pick 165, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Value said wait; Jay Higgins in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
