Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Richardson: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Decamerion Richardson at pick 210 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Eagles indulged a want in Trotter Jr. while a need in wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They did well to land Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in the 120th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They robbed the room for Kitan Oladapo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 172 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in pick No. 210 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
