There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Eagles never got to the one that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
Yurosek has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
A premium they did not need to pay, Mykel Williams a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Xavier Restrepo at No. 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They went early on Clay Webb in the 86th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They took Sonny Styles at par in the 89th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A conviction pick on Joshua Gray at pick 121 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A reach for Deontae Lawson in pick No. 152; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Ben Yurosek at Round 5, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Roman Hemby at slot 185 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jack Kiser in the 202nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Value said wait; Marques Cox in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They paid a round early for Thor Griffith in slot 217, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
