A return? Yes. Part 2

Apparently I mixed up my 4th round picks.  I just wanted to make sure to get to Alex Henery.  Anyway:

4. Casey Matthews, LB Oregon
No problem with this pick.  He was a good player in college, probably doesn't have the athleticism to be great in the NFL, but he could develop into a run stopping Jeremiah Trotter type. 
Grade: A-

5. Dion Lewis, RB, Pitt
I thought they might go RB higher, since if Jerome Harrison leaves they won't have a legit backup for Shady McCoy, but this is the Eagles we're talking about.  They don't have use for one running back, much less two.  Still, this is a good pick here.
Grade: A-

5. Julian Vandevelde, G, Iowa
Eh, would have rather seen a backup tackle then another guard here.  He wasn't rated very high and it's hard to get excited about this one.
Grade: C

6. Jason Kelce, C, Cincinnati
Same here.
Grade: C

6. Brian Rolle, LB, Ohio St.
Rolle will never be an every down player, because he is just too small for the position.  But this is the kind of guy who will make a huge difference on special teams.  Works for a 6th round pick.
Grade: B

7. Greg Lloyd Jr, LB, UConn
His dad was a great linebacker for the Steelers, but this was probably one linebacker too many.  Don't see him making the team.
Grade: C

7. Stanley Havili, FB, USC
He's an interesting player.  He's listed as a fullback, but he basically plays like a big running back because he's not much of a blocker.  If he learns out to block, he could be a steal in the 7th. 
Grade: B

Overall
Grading a draft before any of the players have even played is basically an excercise in futility, because nobody knows exactly how these guys will turn out.  What we can grade is the team's draft strategy, and how they picked players based on their projected value.  In that regard, the Eagles didn't do so great this year.  Their first four rounds consisted of several players which could have conceivably been had with a later pick.  However, the Eagles always target the players they want before a draft, and make sure they get them.  If they can't, they trade down.  I like Danny Watkins, but again, you have to question if Gabe Carimi gives you better value there.  In the third round, I think there are higher projected CBs than Curtis Marsh.  Again, these players could turn out to be just fine, but this is all we have to go on right now.  And you still can't defend choosing a kicker in the fourth round to me.  Overall, I don't come out of this draft with a ton of excitement.

Grade: C+
