Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Eagles clearly saw something nobody else did in Mycah Pittman, taking him 100 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gore Jr.. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 22nd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They did well to land Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the 54th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in No. 137, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at slot 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at Round 5, Pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at No. 178 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
They reached into another round for Mycah Pittman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
