Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles reached for Sanders and never recovered. Grade: F.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Eagles would have aced it. T.J. Sanders at the 99th overall pick is 52 spots clear of where he belonged. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Melton pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 35
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 65
A big swing on Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 64
Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 67
A reach on Jack Sawyer in the 51st overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 100
They reached a country mile for Payton Wilson at the 64th pick, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Max Melton · DB · rank 98
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 66 on Max Melton with wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 94
Andrew Mukuba in pick 73 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 119
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adisa Isaac. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 151
T.J. Sanders at the 99th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Tommy Eichenberg while clear needs at wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots sat open.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 146
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
