Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Eagles steal Sturdivant and grade out a D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. That Sturdivant pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the 25th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 3, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
They read the board right and Josh Simmons was the payoff at the 89th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
Taking J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III slid further than he should have, and pick No. 152 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
A tidy bit of business in No. 153, where Bryson Nesbit graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at slot 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
No edge and no loss on Lathan Ransom in Round 6, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the 180th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at pick 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in the 190th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202 Rnd7 John Campbell Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on John Campbell Jr. at pick No. 202, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
The board had Fentrell Cypress II higher than the 213th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
They let Noah Thomas come to them and pounced at slot 217. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
By-the-book stuff, Dylan Fairchild at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
