Philadelphia Eagles

A mixed bag for the Eagles, and a C to match.

The curious call sets the tone. With safety, quarterback and other spots still glaring, the Eagles used the 120th pick on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not exactly short of. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hall Jr.. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Hit on Quinyon Mitchell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 16
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 47
Good price on Xavier Worthy in the 50th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 69
Blake Fisher at pick No. 54 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 72
Value with a capital V on Michael Hall Jr. in slot 85, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 99
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 27, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 109
Zak Zinter at No. 100 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 111
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at safety, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
They paid up for James Williams at pick 161 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 190
A big swing on Cedric Johnson at the 171st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 184
They jumped the gun on Fabien Lovett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 212
They paid sticker price for Cody Schrader in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
