WalterFootball.com: NFL Draft Grades - Philadelphia Eagles

2023 Pick 10. (R:1 P:10) - Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee A Drafting Darnell Wright over Peter Skoronski is interesting, as it means the Bears really didn't think he could play left tackle for them. Wright certainly can. He's an athletic tackle who didn't surrender a sack to Hendon Hooker last year. He also shut down Will Anderson. Justin Fields has to be thrilled about this selection.

2023 Pick 30. (R:1 P:30) - Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia A+ LOL wow. How did the Eagles land Nolan Smith when they easily could have selected him at No. 10? This is ridiculous, but as the adage goes, dumb teams make dumb picks, and the smart teams benefit. The Eagles are going to have an absurd defensive front that will demolish every quarterback in their path.

2023 Pick 62. (R:2 P:31) - Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State
C- The Texans had to move up for a center and not a receiver? Really? Juice Scruggs isn't even a great value here. I think he's a solid prospect and fills a need, but I don't get why Houston gave up a resource for him.

2023 Pick 94. (R:3 P:31) - Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford
D Michael Wilson is not someone I would have drafted in this range. He's a huge receiver and runs routes well, but there are some serious speed concerns. He also has major injury question marks.

2023 Pick 219. (R:7 P:2) - Antoine Green, WR, North Carolina
B Antoine Green was an inconsistent player at North Carolina. He has some deep speed ability, but he'll need to be a more consistent player to make it in the pros.

2023 Pick 248. (R:7 P:31) - Brandon Hill, S, Pittsburgh
C+ Brandon Hill is an undersized safety who struggles to tackle. I didn't think he would be drafted, but we're entering UDFA territory anyway.

2022 Pick 13. (R:1 P:13) - Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia A- Grade
The Vikings-Lions trade was shocking. The Eagles-Texans trade is not. This is the least-surprising move of the 2022 NFL Draft. It was rumored that the Ravens loved Jordan Davis, but the Eagles felt the same way about him. The Eagles envision the 350-pound athletic marvel to be a good replacement for Fletcher Cox, so he's not going to just play two downs. His weight is a concern, but the upside is as big as Davis.

2022 Pick 51. (R:2 P:19) - Cam Jurgens, C, Nebraska B Grade
The Eagles lost Brandon Brooks to retirement this offseason, so they needed another interior lineman. Philadelphia fans will be upset this pick wasn't used on a linebacker, but Jurgens is a solid player who fills a need.

2022 Pick 83. (R:3 P:19) - Nakobe Dean, OLB, Georgia A+ Grade
The Eagles are having an amazing draft weekend. Their latest pick has just made things even better. Nakobe Dean is a first-round prospect who has fallen because of some injury concerns. Those apparently included a pec strain, but seriously, who cares about that? This is a mega steal. Unless Dean has Ebola or something, this pick must be graded as an A+, as Dean easily slots in and upgrades a horrible linebacking corps.

2022 Pick 238. (R:7 P:17) - Thayer Munford, OT/G, Ohio State
B+ Grade
Thayer Munford played tackle at Ohio State, but he can't handle edge rushers, so he'll have to play at guard. Pass protection will still be an issue, but he should run block well. This is nice value for him.

2021 Pick 10. (R:1 P:10) - DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama A+ Grade
The Eagles had a chance to trade up with the Falcons for CeeDee Lamb last year. They didn't pull the trigger, which led to them squandering their first-round choice on Jalen Reagor. It seems as though Howie Roseman learned from his crucial mistake last year, making the jump over the Giants for the dynamic Alabama receiver. When Smith, known as the "Slim Reaper" dominated the college football playoff, I never imagined he would be the third receiver chosen in this class, yet here we are. The Eagles added a dynamic talent to their offense, which they sorely needed.

2021 Pick 37. (R:2 P:5) - Landon Dickerson, C, Alabama C Grade
Based on his ability alone, Landon Dickerson is worth this pick. He's a very smart center with excellent technique. Unfortunately, he suffered countless injuries at Alabama, so he's a major risk this early in the second round. He makes sense as an eventual replacement for Jason Kelce, but I would've tried to obtain Dickerson in the third round.

2021 Pick 70. (R:3 P:6) - Brady Christiansen, , BYU
B+ Grade
The Panthers traded down a couple of times, so it makes sense that they finally moved up, giving a sixth-round pick to move up three spots. Brady Christiansen was someone I had in the third round, so this makes sense. It also addresses a need, as Carolina had to protect Sam Darnold on the blind side.

2021 Pick 84. (R:3 P:20) - Chauncey Golston, DE, Iowa
C Grade
I mocked Chauncey Golston to the Cowboys, but in the fifth round. He's a high-motor, high-effort player, but he's not very talented. The Cowboys could have done better, but this isn't a terrible pick.

2021 Philadelphia Eagles - Prospect:TBD

2021 Pick 189. (R:6 P:5) - Marlon Tuipulotu, DT, USC
A+ Grade
It'll be interesting to see why Marlon Tuipulotu fell in the 2021 NFL Draft. I had him in the third round, so this is amazing value. Tuipulotu also fills a need, given that the Eagles lost so much talent at defensive tackle recently.

2021 Pick 224. (R:6 P:40) - JaCoby Stevens, OLB, LSU
B+ Grade
I wasn't sure if the team that drafted Jacoby Stevens would designate Jacoby Stevens as a linebacker or a safety. Now, we know. Jacoby Stevens is a tweener, but the Eagles needed help at both positions, so perhaps they'll be able to mold Stevens into a quality player for them. I had Stevens drafted earlier, so this is a solid value.

2021 Philadelphia Eagles - Prospect:TBD

2021 Pick 234. (R:7 P:6) - Patrick Johnson, 3-4OLB, Tulane
C+ Grade
Doug Pederson is gone, but the Eagles are still spending several picks to address the trenches. This is their third Day 3 pick spent on a defensive lineman. I didn't have Patrick Johnson in my mock, but the seventh round is the time to scoop up priority UDFAs.

2021 Pick 240. (R:7 P:12) - William Bradley-King, DE, Baylor
B+ Grade
I put William Bradley-King into my seventh round, 18 picks earlier than this. A pass rusher obviously wasn't needed, but it's nice that the Redskins were able to get some depth. Bradley-King is an athletic player with upside, so this is a solid choice.
