The Eagles bet big and early on Ryan Flournoy, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Chris Braswell at pick 50 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Payton Wilson at pick No. 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
They did well to land Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 20, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Dylan Laube in No. 161 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Ryan Flournoy at the 171st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They jumped the gun on Tip Reiman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
By-the-book stuff, Evan Williams at slot 210 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
