Philadelphia Eagles

More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Montrell Johnson Jr. a full 89 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Trotter Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 22
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock in slot 45 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 45
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 58, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 101
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 162
Ainias Smith in pick No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 169
A reach for Jaylin Simpson in No. 157; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 195
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in slot 172 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 201
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at the 178th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Montrell Johnson Jr. · RB · rank 336
This one needs a full-page explanation: Montrell Johnson Jr. in the 247th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
