Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Bell: B-.

The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaheim Bell, the No. 140 name on the board, in the 163rd overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Gentry pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
The board had Roman Wilson higher than the 97th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 137 with a little surplus value in James Williams. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Taking Jaheim Bell in Round 5, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good price on Kitan Oladapo in the 172nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They paid a round early for Eric Gentry in slot 243, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
