Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Omar Cooper Jr.; the Eagles did not wait, grabbing him 26 spots ahead at No. 54. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Oke steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the 23rd pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They reached a country mile for Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 54, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at slot 68, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Scott
They paid sticker price for Xavier Scott in pick 98, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Nothing to complain about; Michael Trigg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at Round 4, Pick 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 David Oke
They read the board right and David Oke was the payoff at the 151st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Dane Key
They took Dane Key at par in slot 179, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
