Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Alexander should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Darius Alexander, the No. 129 name on the board, stolen at slot 162. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 32 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They read the board right and JT Tuimoloau was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 32. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Value with a capital V on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 129, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Darius Alexander at the 162nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez is a better player than the 166th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 169, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
