Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Eagles bet big and early on Collin Oliver, 80 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Shough pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 32 they get a centerfielder for the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Ivey a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A straight-up fair deal on Gunnar Helm at slot 86, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Charles Grant in pick 96. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nice patience on Nohl Williams, who had no business lasting to pick No. 125. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 4, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A reach on Ty Robinson in Round 5, Pick 20; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They took Tommi Hill at par in slot 161, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 164th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 165th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Elijah Roberts at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They jumped the gun on Clay Webb, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 199 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 209 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
A big swing on Collin Oliver at No. 214, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
