Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles let Sanker fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jonas Sanker got past him. The Eagles do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 23.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In pick No. 32 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 64. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in No. 96. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They read the board right and Emery Jones Jr. was the payoff at the 134th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Steal is underselling it; Jonas Sanker at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A clean, defensible pick in pick 164 with a little surplus value in Tommi Hill. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They took Jake Briningstool at par in the 165th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 30, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
