The Eagles ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The Marshall Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 125 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Tahj Brooks in slot 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jack Nelson in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They let Fabien Lovett come to them and pounced at pick No. 172. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They did well to land Julian Pearl in the 178th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 253rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
