The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Isaiah Williams, the No. 198 name on the board, in the 243rd pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 22nd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to the 50th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They paid up for Javon Bullard at pick 54 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Audric Estime in slot 97 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
They took Jaheim Bell at par in Round 5, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at No. 163 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Fair-plus on Brennan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Williams reach Round 7, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
