Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Eagles a B.

The Eagles' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Jefferson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Turner where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slipping to Round 1, Pick 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in the 50th overall pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 DJ James
No edge and no loss on DJ James in pick 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 120 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A tidy little value on Jaheim Bell in No. 171, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in slot 172, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
