Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Neal should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Devin Neal slide 82 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 64th pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach Round 3, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 162nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at No. 166 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 193 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Value said wait; Cam Jackson in slot 199 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
