The Eagles clearly saw something nobody else did in Ryan Flournoy, taking him 63 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Landing Davis that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
R2.3
· Pick 35
· Quinyon Mitchell
· CB
· rank 30
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.14
· Pick 46
· Tyler Guyton
· OT
· rank 39
Tyler Guyton in slot 46 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.18
· Pick 50
· Jackson Powers-Johnson
· C
· rank 51
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 50, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.28
· Pick 60
· Edgerrin Cooper
· LB
· rank 58
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in No. 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.14
· Pick 78
· Tykee Smith
· S
· rank 97
Tykee Smith in the 78th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.5
· Pick 105
· Johnny Wilson
· WR
· rank 75
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the 105th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.28
· Pick 128
· Jaheim Bell
· TE
· rank 140
Jaheim Bell in No. 128 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36
· Pick 172
· Jaylen Wright
· RB
· rank 158
The board had Jaylen Wright higher than the 172nd overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.3
· Pick 178
· Austin Booker
· DL-EDGE
· rank 159
Austin Booker in pick 178 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.5
· Pick 225
· Isaiah Davis
· RB
· rank 184
Isaiah Davis in slot 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.23
· Pick 243
· Ryan Flournoy
· WR
· rank 306
Ryan Flournoy at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
