Round 1, Pick 10 - Devonta Smith (A-)

With the 10th overall pick in the 2021 draft, the Eagles selected Alabama receiver Devonta Smith. The Hiesman winner has accumulated 32 receptions, 402 yards, and 1 touchdown through 7 games. Statistically speaking his season hasn't been "spectacular", however he could still be the first Eagles receiver since Jeremy Maclin in 2014 to have a 1,000 yard season. Trading away the 6th overall pick gave many Eagles fans heartattack but it turned out to be the right decision. Ja'Marr Chase, the Eagles first target, was taken off of the board at the 5th overall pick. There is still a lot of time left in the season, but so far Devonta Smith has not disappointed. 

 

Round 2, Pick 37 - Landon Dickerson (B-)

With the 37th overall pick in the 2021 draft the Eagles selected Landon Dickerson. This pick is obviously for the future and for Jason Kelce's replacement. While at Alabama Dickerson was a very solid center however, he seems to be injury prone. Most recently Dickerson tore his ACL in the SEC championship game. While I myself am still unsure about him as a player, I love his character. He seems to be a great fit with this Eagles team. 

 

Round 3, Pick 73 - Milton Williams (C+) 

With the 73rd overall pick in the 2021 draft the Eagles selected Milton Williams, DT out of Lousiaina Tech. The reason for the lower grade is not because Williams is a bad player. The Eagles just simply have one of the best defensive lines in the league already. With players like Cox, Graham, Hargrave, etc. a defensive lineman was not a necessity. That being said, Cox and Graham are 2 players that are getting old and will likely retire soon. Fortunately for the Eagles, Javon Hargrave is having a breakout season and is looking amazing. The Eagles signed Williams to a 4 year deal so this move is also good for the future. We haven't seen much out of Williams so it is hard to say what he is capable of. Even so, he is definitely talented, and could be key piece to their defensive line in the future. 

 

Round 4, Pick 123 - Zech McPhearson (C-)

With the 123rd overall pick in the 2021 draft, the Eagles selected Zech McPhearson, CB out of Texas Tech. This is yet another draft pick that we have not seen much of, he doesn't even have a pass defended this season. He is out again this week with a hamstring injury. In college McPhearson was fairly productive, not the best but certainly could've been worse. In time we will get to see McPhearson play, hopefully his draft grade will go up.

 

Round 5, Pick 150 - Kenneth Gainwell (A-) 

With the 150th pick in the 2021 draft, the Eagles selected Memphis RB, Kenneth Gainwell. This is my personal favorite pick of the draft. Through 7 games Gainwell has been a very solid backup for Miles Sanders. Even with Sirianni's awful playcalling, he has still managed to accumulate 120 total yards and 2 total touchdowns. This Sunday against the Lions, Gainwell will get his first NFL start. Many Eagles fans, myself included, are looking forward to seeing what he can do in the starting position. Sanders will be out for at least 3 weeks, so his opportunity to shine is now. For a 5th round pick, Gainwell has been nothing but surprising. 

 

Round 6, Pick 189 - Marlon Tuipulotu (D+)

With the 189th overall pick the Eagles selected Marlon Tuipulotu, DT out of USC. Tuipulotu is another pick with very little playing time meaning there is very little to say about him. He wasn't the most productive in college, only accumulating 104 tackles and  8.5 sacks over 4 years at USC. Another defensive lineman that could have an effect on the team in the future, but as of right now, his grade can't be higher than a D+.

 

Round 6, Pick 191 - Tarron Jackson (C)

With the 191st overall pick in the 2021 draft, the Eagles selected Tarron Jackson. Jackson went to Coastal Carolina where he was very productive. Jackson finished his 4 year collegiate career with 188 tackles, 24.5 sacks, and 6 forced fumbles. This was a very nice pick for it being the 6th round. However, his production this season has made his grade decrease. Over the course of 7 games his snap count has increased but his production hasn't. That being said, this was still a very nice pick and Jackson should have a very successful career. 

 

Round 7, Pick 224 - Jacoby Stevens (D-)

Signed to practice squad. 

 

Round 7, Pick 234 Patrick Johnson (C-)

With the 234th pick in the 2021 draft, the Eagles selected Tulane LB Patrick Johnson. Defensively Johnson hasn't had the most playing time but he has been decently productive with the snaps that he got. So far Johnson has gotten the majority of his snaps on special teams. For it being the last pick that the Eagles had, it was not bad at all. Yet another player with a seemingly bright future.
