Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Washington: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Tahj Washington slide 21 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They took Kool-Aid McKinstry at par in the 22nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 AJ Barner
By-the-book stuff, AJ Barner at slot 171 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 172 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tahj Washington in pick No. 210, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
