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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ty'Ron Hopper got past him. The Eagles do not have to explain a thing at slot 210. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 22 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 21, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Nothing to complain about; Sione Vaki went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braiden McGregor. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Walter Rouse at the 172nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 210 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
