Somebody took the Eagles to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Travis.
The veteran additions, Saquon Barkley chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick-by-Pick
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
In slot 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A tidy little value on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 46, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 26. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Nothing to complain about; Gabriel Murphy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Travis in the 170th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in No. 178; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They read the board right and Caedan Wallace was the payoff at slot 189. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
