I think so.
I rated our draft a B.
It looks like the other teams’ in the division had average at best drafts.
However, they had more picks than us; NYG 11, DAL 9, WAS 8, PHI 5 (however, we got Brown with a few picks)
Here’s a detail grade of each team picks. Pick #, Position, Name, Rank, Grade: More weight is on the earlier picks
DAL 24-OG T. Smith 51 D 56-DL S. Williams 71 C- 88-WR J. Tolbert 78 B+ 129 TE J. Ferguson 144 C 155-OT M. Waletzko 176 C 167-CB D. Bland 352 F 176-ILB D. Clark 90 A+ 178-DT J. Ridgeway 185 C 193-OLB D. Harper 313 F
Overall Grade C WAS 16-WR J. Dotson 36 D 47-DT P. Mathis 61 C- 98-RB B. Robinson 128 D 113-S P. Butler 151 D 144-QB S. Howell 40 A+ 149-TE C. Turner 190 C- 230-OG C. Paul 146 A+ 240-CB C.Holmes 344 F
Overall Grade C-
NYG 5-ED K. Thibodeaux 7 B 7-OT E. Neal 2 A+ 43-WR W. Robinson 77 D 67-OG J. Ezuedo 130 D 81-S C. Flott 123 D 112-TE D. Bellinger 194 D 114-S D. Belton 182 D 146-LB M. McFadden 152 C 147-DT DJ. Davidson 285 F 173-OG M.McKethan 325 F 182-OLB D. Beavers 160 B+
Overall Grade C
If you add Brown as a draft pick since we used picks to get him, we definitely made up some ground. Even without him, we had a good draft vs average or worse for our division rivals.
Our free agency was underwhelming. Not sure what they did in FA vs us.

Our draft was literally about patching holes created earlier in the offseason, so if you improved yourselves in any way then you lessened whatever gap you think exists.

I'd say we improved more than any other team in the NFC and that is without including Brown as a draft day acquisition.
The team is getting younger and they are set at the skill positions. Both lines are set. We will have to see how the new LBer corp plays but at least it was addressed, unlike the secondary.
This season is all on Hurts. If he improves, the Eagles will challenge for the division title.

Looking at the team objectively they have gotten much better defensively with the front 7 and if the front 7 play like it is projected then the weakness of the back end will be mitigated. Offensively they are young and talented so now it is up to the coaches and players to prove that.
They are a good CB from being a very good looking team.
