B

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles turned the phones into found money: B.

Future C

The Eagles ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Eagles indulged a want in Solomon while a need in safety, quarterback and other spots stayed open. They will need Zinter to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Hall Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick 50, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 69
They went early on Blake Fisher in No. 59, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 86
Devontez Walker in the 81st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 72
Michael Hall Jr. in the 86th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 109
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zak Zinter this early at pick No. 90. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 111
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 131
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 120. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
James Williams at slot 161 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 181
A reach for Nelson Ceaser in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 184
They jumped the gun on Fabien Lovett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 212
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at the 210th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
