Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles robbed the room for Jordan. Final grade: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Eagles indulged a want in Wilson while a need in interior defensive lineman and quarterback stayed open.

Jordan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
In pick No. 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 33
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 34
They took Chop Robinson at par in slot 33, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 45
Good price on Devontez Walker in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in the 54th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
A curious use of the 63rd pick. Interior defensive lineman and quarterback needed the pick; a linebacker in Payton Wilson did not.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
They will replay Calen Bullock at slot 64 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
A quiet steal in No. 97: Sedrick Van Pran for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 123
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 156
They did well to land McCallan Castles in pick 160, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 146
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 5, Pick 34, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 161
Khristian Boyd at pick No. 171 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 154
Jaylin Simpson at the 172nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 169
Value with a capital V on LaDarius Henderson in the 178th pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 212
Steal is underselling it; De'Corian Clark at pick 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 219
Taking Jawhar Jordan in Round 7, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
