Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The needs board said one thing and the Eagles did another, using Round 4, Pick 20 on Cedric Gray while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots waited. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Trotter Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at slot 22, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at the 50th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A want over a need in pick 120: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
