Philadelphia Eagles

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Johnson: B+.

Future B

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cornelius Johnson, the Round 7 slot, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They are betting Sanders proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 46
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 57
Kris Jenkins at No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 104
They took Cam Hart at par in Round 4, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 107
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 103 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 128
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · James Williams · S · rank 129
James Williams in the 133rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 139
A straight-up fair deal on Beaux Limmer at pick No. 134, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 144
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Connor Colby · OT · rank 157
Connor Colby in Round 5, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 180
T.J. Sanders at pick 165 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Ajani Cornelius · OL · rank 183
They went early on Ajani Cornelius in the 172nd pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 208
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
