Eagles select Washington DT Elijah Qualls with their sixth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

Qualls projects as a run-stuffing defensive tackle, which makes sense for an Eagles' defensive front that has penetrating interior line starters in Fletcher Cox and Timmy Jernigan. With Beau Allen having torn his pectoral mucle, the Eagles can use some added depth in the trenches.

Yeah, yeah, I know... You can't properly evaluate a draft for three years. My rebuttal? You will read my arbitrary grades for each of the Eagles' picks and like it.

Mack Hollins is known as an outstanding special teams player, known for his kick and punt coverage skills. In recent years, the Eagles have placed a high priority on their special teams units, a strategy that has served them well.
