Larceny in slot 240 lands the Eagles a B-, Vidal and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kimani Vidal, the No. 200 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 240. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If Mitchell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 22nd overall pick they get an island corner, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Graham Barton in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Good price on Jamari Thrash in the 97th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Cedric Gray in pick No. 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They read the board right and Keith Randolph Jr. was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Circle this one: Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
