The trade table was a mismatch, and the Eagles were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in the 36th pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Kalen King at slot 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kamren Kinchens in pick 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Tyler Davis at the 97th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 107 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Khyree Jackson at No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jack Nelson in No. 140 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Darius Robinson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 157 is lovely value for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in slot 172, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Miles Frazier at the 178th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Roman Hemby in the 253rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
