Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Eagles kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Eagles spent slot 162 on Tyreak Sapp, a name most had 118 spots down the list.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 62 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at the 94th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in the 132nd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
A wild overpay on Tyreak Sapp in pick No. 162, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 165th overall pick and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
