Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Eagles: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Eagles shredded theirs for Luke McCaffrey. He came off 54 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with safety, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Newton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They went early on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 50, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick54 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 54 on Payton Wilson with safety, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick88 Rnd3 Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in Round 3, Pick 25, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than No. 97, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They reached a country mile for Roger Rosengarten at pick 160, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 170, where Keith Randolph Jr. graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No edge and no loss on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 171st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
A tidy little value on Layden Robinson in pick No. 178, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Daequan Hardy in the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
