With two first round picks, the Philadelphia Eagles have the potential to continue remaking their offense in Thursday's NFL Draft.

It would not surprise to see the Eagles to opt for a third wide receiver first round selection in three seasons to pair with DeVonta Smith. With four picks in the first 83 selections, Philadelphia has plenty of options.

Here's the Eagles' picks, selections and grades for the 2022 NFL Draft.

TV INFO: How to watch 2022 NFL Draft first round on TV, live stream

1st Round, No. 13 overall (from Houston) | Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia

Instant grade: B-minus

Analysis: The Eagles trade up to grab Georgia's disruptive defensive lineman. His athletic numbers are out of this world, and his first three steps were untouchable at times last year. He wasn't a great pass rusher, though, and showed fatigue a little too easy at times.

TRADE: The Eagles traded the No. 15, No. 124, No. 162 and No. 166 picks to Houston for the No. 13 pick.

2nd Round, No. 51 overall | Cameron Jurgens, C, Nebraska

Instant grade: B

Analysis: A mobile and long-armed center who is the prototypical modern center. Will he be able to block heavier, explosive defensive lineman?

3rd Round, No. 83 overall | Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

Instant grade: A-plus

Analysis: Dean's slide, according to reports, were due to a pectoral injury on his medical report. That aside, he was one of the top playmakers in this draft. Sideline-to-sideline player who loves to play physical and can cover backs and tight ends. Medicals aside, a top 15 player.

6th Round, No. 181 overall (from Detroit) | Kyron Johnson, LB, Kansas

Instant grade: B

6th Round, No. 198 overall (from Pittsburgh via Jacksonville) | Grant Calcaterra, TE, SMU

Instant grade: B

7th Round, No. 237 overall (from New Orleans) |
