Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A puzzling weekend of work from the Eagles: D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Seth McGowan at the 32nd pick is 380 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Seth McGowan
In No. 32 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Paul Jr.
They liked Chris Paul Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 64. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jake Smith
A real head-scratcher, Jake Smith in slot 96 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the 134th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at Round 5, Pick 23 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JJ Pegues. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 James Burnip
James Burnip in pick No. 165 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Shemar James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar James this early at the 168th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
