The Eagles torched the value chart for Myles Cole, taking him 36 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 18 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Nothing to complain about; Devontez Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They reached into another round for Christian Mahogany, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Cam Hart in the 97th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Blake Fisher at the 120th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Value said wait; Myles Cole in No. 161 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jase McClellan in pick 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 194 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jaden Crumedy in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Tyler Owens at the 240th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
