Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Eagles.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Eagles shredded theirs for Mitchell Evans. He came off 46 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Martinez at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They paid a round early for Jared Ivey in the 64th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mitchell Evans
A real head-scratcher, Mitchell Evans in slot 96 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kobe King
They took Kobe King at par in the 129th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in pick 162: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 169th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
