The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Roman Wilson fell into the 101st overall pick.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
They read the board right and Tyler Guyton was the payoff at the 54th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach slot 101 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Khristian Boyd in Round 5, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Isaiah Davis at pick 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A quiet steal in pick No. 239: Josh Wallace for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
