Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Eagles: B-.

The Eagles went off the board in a big way for Kendall Milton, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 50th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach for Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
The board had Tykee Smith higher than pick 161, and the safety fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A reasonable price with a little left over, AJ Barner in No. 171. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A conviction pick on Khristian Boyd at slot 172 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A wild overpay on Kendall Milton in the 210th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
