Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Cowing fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jacob Cowing slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at the 249th overall pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A tidy little value on Amarius Mims in Round 1, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in the 45th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to slot 137. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in the 156th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ainias Smith in No. 178. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
