Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Castro should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sebastian Castro, the No. 89 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 129. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The cost of the Taylor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 32nd overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in slot 64, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A quiet steal in No. 96: Devin Neal for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
You do not let a safety like Sebastian Castro reach Round 4, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Good price on Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 162, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick166 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roc Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in the 169th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
