Philadelphia Eagles

Melton should have been long gone. The Eagles pounced, and earned a D.

Somebody took the Eagles to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The cost of the Watts reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Melton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In the 22nd pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in pick No. 33, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They jumped the gun on Payton Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at slot 54 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 60 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton at pick No. 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
Maason Smith at the 100th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith in the 156th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
A reach on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 172; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 186
They took Cornelius Johnson at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.31 · Pick 206 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
Jared Wiley at No. 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
Eric Watts at slot 210 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
