Philadelphia Eagles

Grand theft in pick No. 97: the Eagles steal Powers-Johnson and grade out a F.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It bottoms out at a F.

The Powers-Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In the 22nd pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In the 23rd overall pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.31 · Pick 31 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
You do not let an offensive lineman like Taliese Fuaga reach Round 2, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
Chris Braswell in No. 54 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 83
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at No. 92. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 56
Brandon Dorlus in Round 3, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
They robbed the room for Jackson Powers-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 116
Ainias Smith at slot 131 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to the 137th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 153
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 163. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 165
They did well to land Cody Schrader in pick 172, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Jaylen Wright at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
Darius Muasau at No. 243 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
