Don't you need a Graduate degree AND a Post Graduate degree to even be eligible for most PhDs?

It depends on the field, program of study, and institution. Some places want masters degrees coming in. Others, a bachelor's or postbacc, so they can do a combined "full tour" masters-through-PhD and they get to shape students as-is.
