The Philadelphia Eagles 2019 NFL Draft was underwhelming and if you base the upcoming 2020 class on metrics from a former division rival, fans could be in an uproar once again.
Back when he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and building a dynasty, Jimmy Johnson developed a value chart that assigns every pick in the draft with a specific point value, making it easier for him and front-office types to compare the relative value of draft picks in different rounds.
Named the “Dallas Draft Picks Value Chart”, executives from around the league swear by Johnson’s grading system for picks and refer to it before making a final decision on trade proposals or offers.
According to Tankathon, with the help of Johnson’s value system, the Eagles are just outside the bottom-10 in value for their upcoming draft class.
The Eagles’ upcoming draft currently has a point value of 1,480.8 as they’re currently scheduled to pick 21, 53, 85, 117, 149, 151, and 171 overall. The Eagles are also expected to land three compensatory picks as well, bringing their complete haul to ten.
The value of those picks could rise if the Eagles are able to secure a top-notched wideout.
