You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Eagles did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Hall Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Puni steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 44
Kris Jenkins is a better player than pick 54 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in slot 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
Dominick Puni in pick No. 118 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 145
Dallin Holker at the 137th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
Jordan Travis at the 142nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 18. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 167
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
Value with a capital V on Chau Smith-Wade in the 172nd pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 179
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in the 178th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 183 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 198
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wiley at pick 204, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
