The Eagles torched the value chart for Evan Williams, taking him 43 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 120 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Evan Williams at the 171st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Jefferson a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
