Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Eagles let World fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Isaiah World, the 178th overall pick, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Payton lower, and that gap is the story. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
A clean, defensible pick in No. 23 with a little surplus value in Kenyon Sadiq. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the 54th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christen Miller at slot 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Circle this one: Treydan Stukes at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
They read the board right and De'Zhaun Stribling was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 14. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer in pick No. 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Isaiah World
They will replay Isaiah World at pick 178 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They reached a country mile for Cole Payton at the 184th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
