Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
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 Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A big swing on Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
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.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
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.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
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.
Pick66 Rnd3 Max Melton
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.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 73 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
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.
Pick99 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
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.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
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.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
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.
