The Eagles torched the value chart for Cedric Johnson, taking him 42 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Stover value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in pick 44. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They let Cade Stover come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 34. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. It fills a real need, too.
A conviction pick on Sione Vaki at slot 160 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Cedric Johnson at Round 5, Pick 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Rogers well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They jumped the gun on Jase McClellan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
