Philadelphia Eagles

Johnson should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a C+.

The phones were a trap the Eagles kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Cooper DeJean and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In pick 24 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 54
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at the 53rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Cedric Gray while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 121
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at slot 120 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take James Williams, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson in pick 129 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 153
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 35, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 175
They took Layden Robinson at par in the 172nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at pick No. 210. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
