Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

The Eagles spent real capital to be 27 picks early on Trey Knox, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 22nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Payton Wilson for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 97th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 160 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 171 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They reached a country mile for Trey Knox at the 210th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
