Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Eagles: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Eagles reached some 28 spots for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and value like that does not grow back. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Brown steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and pick No. 32 is lovely value for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at No. 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro slipping to the 96th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown is a better player than Round 5, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A wild overpay on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in pick 164, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonah Monheim a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
A clean, defensible pick in pick 168 with a little surplus value in Ryan Fitzgerald. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
