Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Simpson: D+.

The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Harris pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Landing Simpson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the 50th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 97th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They paid a round early for Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They jumped the gun on Jordan Travis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in the 139th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at pick No. 160, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They paid sticker price for Chau Smith-Wade in the 170th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
They let McCallan Castles come to them and pounced at slot 171. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in No. 204 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Harris at Round 7, Pick 20, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
