Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took David Walker a full 107 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Gordon II makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at the 64th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Good price on Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 32, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the 162nd overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick166 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
They barely believed it either: Terrance Ferguson still on the board at pick No. 166. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in Round 5, Pick 30 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
