Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Eagles bet big and early on Tyler Batty, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Getting Brooks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 32nd pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 97 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to pick 129, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 162nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at Round 5, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 169th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
