Call it larceny. Jamari Thrash sat on the board until No. 117, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice.
They will answer for taking linebacker early while interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots went begging. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The All reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
R2.1
· Pick 33
· Bralen Trice
· DE-EDGE
· rank 22
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bralen Trice at slot 33 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.18
· Pick 50
· Calen Bullock
· S
· rank 51
Calen Bullock in the 50th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.27
· Pick 59
· Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
· LB
· rank 64
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.27
· Pick 90
· Marist Liufau
· LB
· rank 91
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent No. 90 on Marist Liufau, a linebacker they were not short of.
R3.37
· Pick 100
· Tykee Smith
· S
· rank 102
Tykee Smith at pick 100 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2
· Pick 102
· Gabriel Murphy
· DL-EDGE
· rank 90
A quiet steal in pick No. 102: Gabriel Murphy for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.17
· Pick 117
· Jamari Thrash
· WR
· rank 96
Jamari Thrash at Round 4, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.21
· Pick 157
· Cam Hart
· CB
· rank 139
Steal is underselling it; Cam Hart at the 157th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.32
· Pick 168
· Keith Randolph Jr.
· DL-EDGE
· rank 160
Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.3
· Pick 223
· Erick All
· TE
· rank 231
They jumped the gun on Erick All, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
