Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Eagles to a D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Watts proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Rouse at that price is a win they earned.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 17th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Corley a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in slot 161. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 35, where Walter Rouse graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
The board had cheaper options than Tip Reiman at the 172nd overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in No. 210 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
