The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Greenfield to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at pick No. 54, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No drama and no debate, Jalyx Hunt went about where he belonged in the 171st pick. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Kendall Milton in No. 189 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
