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

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cornelius Johnson fell into pick 210.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 161 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Nothing to complain about; Kamal Hadden went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in pick No. 172, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 210th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
