Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Dixon should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Johnny Dixon had no business being available in pick No. 210, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at No. 50, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in slot 53, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in pick No. 120, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
No drama and no debate, Walter Rouse went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No edge and no loss on Javion Cohen in the 171st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach for Jordan Jefferson in pick 172; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at the 210th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
