Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Eagles: B-.

The tape said wait; the Eagles did not. Collin Oliver went at pick No. 165, a good 158 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On value alone, Sanders makes the weekend a net positive. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 32 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 64th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid up for Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 96 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 130th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in pick 161, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They liked Oronde Gadsden II enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
They reached into another round for Collin Oliver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
