Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles bet the future on Daniels. The board says D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On value alone, Guyton makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In No. 22 they get their guy under center for the next decade, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 27
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Guyton reach Round 2, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 42
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
Javon Bullard at the 63rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 84
Gabriel Murphy slid further than he should have, and slot 94 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 96
Malik Washington in pick No. 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 98
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in the 98th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 148
They read the board right and Jarrian Jones was the payoff at pick 160. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 166
Kamal Hadden in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 167
A clean, defensible pick in the 171st pick with a little surplus value in Javion Cohen. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 168
Sione Vaki slipping to pick No. 178 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 174
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than Round 6, Pick 14 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 236
A tidy little value on KT Leveston in the 240th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
