Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped Abrams-Draine from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 120 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 5, Pick 27.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Ulofoshio to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 50, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They let Xavier Worthy come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 22. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 97th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached into another round for Edefuan Ulofoshio, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 163rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 172 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at pick 243, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
