Philadelphia

For the second straight year, the Eagles traded out of the first round. This time they picked up Carolina's first-round pick in 2009, one that the Panthers used on Pitt OT Jeff Otah. Notre Dame DT Trevor Laws is strong inside, but he can be blocked when he doesn't stay low. Coach Andy Reid went for Cal playmaker DeSean Jackson with his second pick, and he should be an excellent punt returner. Jackson has game-breaking speed, but will have trouble getting off the line against NFL cornerbacks. Pitt guard Mike McGlynn brings a roughhouse attitude, while Wisconsin CB Jack Ikegwuonu tore his ACL in January and may not be ready for training camp.

Grade: C-

Eagles -- B

Loved the decision to trade out of Round 1 for the Panthers' No. 2 this year and a first-rounder in '09. Still landed speed merchant WR/PR DeSean Jackson in Round 2 when some saw them taking him in first to placate QB Donovan McNabb. Like him more than their first pick, DT Trevor Laws. S Quintin Demps (fourth) adds needed youth behind an aging Brian Dawkins.

USA Today C+

• Philadelphia Eagles: Bailed out of first round rather than take a WR too high and then got the guy they liked, DeSean Jackson, in the second. Need that sort of playmaker. Picked up Carolina's No. 1 next year. Got o-line help in Mike McGlynn but reached a bit for him, added secondary help later and those were at least slight reaches too — though FS Quintin Demps shows some real ability. CB Jack Ikegwuono has knee problems and may be facing burglary charges.

Best pick: Second-round pick DeSean Jackson will become a big-play return man immediately. He could also be a factor in the passing game as a rookie.

Questionable move: Trading out of the first round and not picking until No. 47 in the second round. But they did add Carolina's first-round pick in the 2009 draft to do so.

Second-day gem: Safety Quintin Demps has great speed and coverage skills. Some teams had him ranked third at the safety spot, so he's a bargain in the fourth round.

They added a lot of really good football players, including their top pick, defensive tackle Trevor Laws.

Eagles: D+

For the second straight year, the Eagles traded out of the first round. That left them with two second-round picks: Notre Dame defensive tackle ' Trevor Laws, who seems like a bit of a reach, and Cal receiver DeSean Jackson, who will make an instant impact both on offense and on special teams. The one thing I like about the Eagles' strategy is that they stockpile picks, meaning they're almost guaranteed of finding someone good later in the draft.
