Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Eagles for Sanker: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jonas Sanker slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Belton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick 64 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at No. 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 134th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
They will replay Jonas Sanker at pick No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at slot 168. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
