Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 35: the Eagles steal Jones and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Christian Jones had no business being available in the 171st pick, and the Eagles did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Trotter Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 50, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 53rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board fumbled Brenden Rice all the way to pick 120, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 171st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They robbed the room for Kitan Oladapo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They took Garret Greenfield at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
