Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Eagles looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eric Watts at Round 5, Pick 25 regardless, 69 picks early.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Hadden pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the 22nd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
Keon Coleman in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the 50th pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
A conviction pick on Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 60
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to pick 78. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
Maason Smith at Round 3, Pick 32 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 120
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Davis. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in pick 116; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in the 161st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith at the 171st pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
Jared Wiley at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 249 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
