The Eagles torched the value chart for Oronde Gadsden II, taking him 141 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 2, Pick 10, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Kenneth Grant at the 73rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Clay Webb at pick 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Deone Walker in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at No. 157. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 159 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They will replay Parker Brailsford at No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
