Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Eagles won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jayson Jones at Round 7, Pick 23 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Cooper pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 23rd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 54th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 55 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Edgerrin Cooper while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick69 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A wild overpay on Audric Estime in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 83 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 James Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for James Williams. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in slot 137; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They paid a round early for Javon Baker in pick No. 163, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
A reach for Ethan Driskell in the 172nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They went early on Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Value said wait; Jayson Jones in Round 7, Pick 23 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
