Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Mullings from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kalel Mullings slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 32 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A quiet steal in the 64th overall pick: Marcus Mbow for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 32, where Barrett Carter graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They will replay Darius Alexander at pick No. 162 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 166th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 198 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
