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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Quinyon Mitchell, the No. 30 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 50th overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 22 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in No. 50 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slipping to the 54th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 97 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at Round 5, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They took Chau Smith-Wade at par in pick No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 178th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
