Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Eagles spent pick No. 240 on George Holani, a name the board had a full 69 spots lower.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Braden Fiske in slot 50 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 97th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tykee Smith at No. 160. The roster fit checks out.
Dillon Johnson in pick No. 170 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They talked themselves into Erick All at the 171st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at slot 189 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
They reached a country mile for George Holani at No. 240, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
