Call it larceny. Harold Fannin Jr. sat on the board until slot 93, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They are betting Sturdivant proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Josaiah Stewart in slot 31, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 62nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 93 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Circle this one: Deone Walker at pick 157 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Danny Stutsman at the 159th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Value said wait; J.Michael Sturdivant in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
