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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Amarius Mims, the No. 23 name on the board, stolen at No. 53. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy little value on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 50, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They barely believed it either: Amarius Mims still on the board at No. 53. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Elliss in pick 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 160th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 170th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Anthony Gould. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 178 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 14 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trevin Wallace in slot 240. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
