Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Irving: B.

Call it larceny. Bucky Irving sat on the board until the 137th pick, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach pick No. 50 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than Round 2, Pick 22, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
They barely believed it either: Bucky Irving still on the board at No. 137. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at pick 163 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at the 172nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Oladapo in the 178th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
A slide stopped in the 243rd pick, with Jeremy Flax worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
