Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Eagles shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Watts has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in No. 40. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson at the 50th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
A premium they did not need to pay, Kingsley Suamataia a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 67th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at slot 78, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
Maason Smith in pick 100 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
They jumped the gun on Johnny Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, James Williams adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback and running back untouched.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at the 161st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 166
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 166
They did well to land Jaheim Bell in slot 172, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
They reached a country mile for Eric Watts at the 210th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
