The one they had to fix is still broken. The Eagles left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
However the rest shakes out, Vaki at that price is a win they earned. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in pick No. 53, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They took Javon Foster at par in pick 120, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 161 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Davis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Sione Vaki slipping to No. 171 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in the 172nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Good price on Jaylan Ford in the 210th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
