NFL Draft: Eagles draft haul lands an ‘A-‘ Grade from Pro Football Focus

The Philadelphia Eagles were the talk of the NFL Draft world after Howie Roseman and company selected Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts with the No. 53 overall pick.

Roseman rebounded in day three to stack the Eagles roster with speed at the skill positions and linebacker.

After snagging some quality late in the draft and a game-changing safety in K’Von Wallace, the Eagles landed an A- grade from Pro Football Focus.

Reagor led the way and he comes to the Eagles after had the second-highest rate of explosive plays in college football over the past two seasons.

Hurts will become a high-value backup in the NFL while Wallace again adds versatility with his ability to flourish as a box safety or play in the slot.

Hightower, Watkins, and Taylor should also be key contributors in year one.
