When a board-topper like Sonny Styles slides to pick 121, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Miller at pick 84, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Nic Anderson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Fair-plus on Kaimon Rucker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Clay Webb at slot 110 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Sonny Styles at the 121st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 148 with a little surplus value in Caden Prieskorn. A need, and now a little less of one.
Nothing to complain about; Jamaree Caldwell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jack Nelson in slot 161 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No drama and no debate, Francisco Mauigoa went about where he belonged in pick 185. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Jaishawn Barham at No. 190 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Traeshon Holden at pick No. 213 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They let Jack Kiser come to them and pounced at the 217th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Xavier Truss reach Round 7, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
