Thirty-one other rooms let Jha'Quan Jackson slide, and the Eagles were the ones holding the card at the 225th pick. Highway robbery.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 20
In slot 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in pick 50. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in No. 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 107
Will Shipley in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 141
They paid sticker price for Ainias Smith in pick No. 142, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevor Keegan in the 161st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
Walter Rouse at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 166
A clean, defensible pick in the 172nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaheim Bell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Evan Williams · S · rank 214
No drama and no debate, Evan Williams went about where he belonged in pick 210. It fills a real need, too.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 178
Steal is underselling it; Jha'Quan Jackson at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 219
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to No. 240, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 227
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
