Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Eagles did not so much draft Brevyn Spann-Ford as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Isaac pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
In the 29th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 28
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 49
A conviction pick on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 55
Payton Wilson at No. 50 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 52
Adisa Isaac at the 61st overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at slot 66, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
Ja'Lynn Polk at Round 3, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in No. 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 95
Caelen Carson at the 100th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 112
Maason Smith slipping to pick No. 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They took Tykee Smith at par in the 161st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 171
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at slot 166 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford at pick 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 210, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
