That's an acquisition for draft capital. Nothing to do with the players drafted and grades. That's why I suggesting there needs to be a full Acquisition thread. Cover every acquisition from free agency, trades, trades for draft capital, trades to alleviate cap space, drafted players, UDFA's, etc. Lots of lumping everything together in here for a draft grade thread.

When you use draft picks from this draft on draft day, I don't see how you can't "lump" that into a draft breakdown? Nothing about it was pre-draft.

Does Dee Ford count for you too?

sure why not? They used draft capital from this draft to get him.

That works as long as you're consistent for capital used this year.

Try being an Eagles fan.

Why wouldn't I be?

I think Kinlaw will struggle early in his career since hes not a technician and he's basically like Armstead when he was coming out as far as being raw

Aiyuk, like Deebo, will not dominate right away since this offense is hard to pick up. I can see him dominating in the later half of the year.

Colton, good OL depth. Hopefully another gem in the making.

Charlie Woerner. This is the pick I am least excited about. I hope he does give us more in the passing game

Jauan Jennings. Love his attitude and physicality. Want him to make the roster badly. But I can see Pettis making the roster over him . This move was probably made just in case Hurd is put on IR again, unfortunately. I see his roster making chances as slim

Overall: B+

Restocked the roster with the same talent at a cheaper cost, giving us another shot at a Superbowl. But ultimately, I didn't think we improved in areas where we were deficient that can get us over the hump. Though I understand if the refs were less biased in the SB, we may have had a chance to win, you probably can't count on that

On Kinlaw, I think he will do better than expected. I think his number one assignment is to gap penetrate and muck up things in the backfield. Whether it be a tackle end stunt or a straight up field pass rush. I think the way Kocurek coaches, Kinlaw will be making an impact in early to mid season. It's different for offense - and offensive players -- it takes months, if not years, to pick up certain offenses. Defenses - generally if you have talent - you can make an impact right away. Azeez, Greenlaw, and Fred did pretty good as rookies (for example).

FTFY

Lol, thought I said that for some reason, had me looking back. Probably said that back in 2017 just don't remember LOL.

Kinlaw isn't a technician but he's also much more physically talented than Armstead was when he was coming out imo.

Bigger, stronger and more athletic. I wish we had the combine numbers for Kinlaw to have proper analysis but Kinlaw looks a lot more explosive than Armstead was at this stage in his career and has done it at a bigger weight with longer arms.

Another big factor...Armstead came in and played on a pretty weak roster. Kinlaw is going to be the 4th guy on an already super strong unit and a scheme that basically asks their guys to hunt QBs.

Basically I think even with the craziness and uncertainty of this offseason he's in a prime position to play well quickly.

Of course with Chase Young in the draft class...I'd be surprised if anyone else gets DROY.

Honestly, Kinkaw is like the 5th Beetle. I could look halfway decent rushing with Ford, Armstead, and Bosa beside me.

Kinkaw will do just fine.

I dont want to give the Eagles fan another chance to show his lack of mental acuity....but if you removed MoFo, F***, i believe this fine example of an Eagles fan would be unable to communicate...even with other eagle fans. I appreciate this WZ even more now.

We need some corners badly. I'm worried about sherm covering speedsters. We got exposed in the playoffs and If our pass rush is worse we're gonna get torched repeatedly.

A+, getting Kinlaw and Aiyuk was great but the icing on the cake was Trent Williams, I don't care that they passed on a IOL and CB, we can't fill every need in 1 offseason, we got a solid blocking TE, and a developmental OL who can compete at RG, likely is inactive for the season as the 9th OL.

Does anyone know if two udfa got to start on a team before. That be unreal if mosely and another udfa takes over when sherm retires. He's still good but his lack of speed is stopping him for being elite

LMAO. We all did! That was my point. Let's hope that these two turn out just slightly better. Haha.

Have you guys read the draft report on Kittle. It just exemplifies the drunk dart throwing process the draft is. You'd be expect him to be cut rather than be the best TE in the league

I thought the same about Lamar Jackson and Watson. Those two turned out pretty decent. How about you wait till a preseason before you bash the kid.(referring to maker of video). Btw, he looks like he will have an asthma attack walking to mailbox. I'd work on that first before what the Iggles do.

I agree about the corners but I think our pass rush will be better. Kinlaw is better at rushing the passer than Buckner who is better at stopping the run. Not saying Buckner can't rush the passer but Kinlaw is a huge disrupter and is about 30 lbs heavier. I expect Bosa to be better even though he was terrific last year and DJ and a healthier Ford should make this unit a real handful for offensive lines.

If Kinlaw doesn't match DeFo this draft is a F.
