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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Eagles watched Emery Jones Jr. slide 42 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jihaad Campbell a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick64 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at No. 64. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 134 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the 161st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 164th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in pick No. 165 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to pick 168, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
