Grading the Draft: Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles found themselves in a place they've not been in a long while; selecting in the top five of the draft. They also had a new coach in the war room whose input would be vital in selecting players. Unfortunately the team also had a lot of holes to fill entering the draft...
