Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Brooks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tahj Brooks, the No. 122 name on the board, in the 166th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 64 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Burch in the 96th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce slid further than he should have, and slot 129 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They did well to land Ty Robinson in the 162nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Nice patience on Ben Sauls, who had no business lasting to pick 169. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
