Draft Grade — Eagles

Larceny in slot 149 lands the Eagles a B, Sellers and all.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and LaNorris Sellers fell into the 149th pick.

Reaching for Barkate left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Yhonzae Pierre
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jelani McDonald
A straight-up fair deal on Jelani McDonald at pick 43, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
They did well to land Jyaire Hill in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate at slot 112 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in the 149th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan Marshall
They went early on Jordan Marshall in pick No. 154, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Marcus Neal Jr.
Marcus Neal Jr. in the 155th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
