Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 50th pick lands the Eagles a B, Nubin and all.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyler Nubin fell into pick No. 50. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at the 50th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at pick 54, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A clean, defensible pick in the 148th pick with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 163. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than No. 168 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 5, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
They let Layden Robinson come to them and pounced at pick No. 178. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in slot 186 is fair value, right on his grade. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
The board had Jase McClellan higher than the 228th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakhari Franklin at pick 243. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
