It seems like opinions are split on the grade the Philadelphia Eagles deserve for this draft.
Some feel like the Eagles should have just taken Treylon Burks and saved the $25 million per year rather than trading for AJ Brown, but I like the move for a proven player and we’ve been waiting for something like that from Howie Roseman all offseason.
Some don’t like the pick of Jordan Davis because he wasn’t a full-time player at Georgia and was taken with a premium pick. Others feel like the Eagles got the freakiest freak of a defensive lineman the NFL may ever see.
In round two, everyone’s trying to figure out why the Eagles re-signed Jason Kelce only to draft Cam Jurgens, and then it comes out that Kelce basically hand-picked him.
Some love the Nakobe Dean pick and call it the best value in the draft while others criticize the Eagles for taking a player that could need a redshirt as a rookie, at least according to some of the buzz going around during the draft.
Ultimately, I fall somewhere in the middle. I don’t love the picks the Eagles made but I love the trade for AJ Brown. I think if you have a QB on a rookie deal, you can be aggressive like that and Howie Roseman is giving his young QB the best chance to succeed by putting a proven receiver on the field with DeVonta Smith.
