The Eagles robbed the room for Mills. Final grade: B.

The Eagles did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Rylie Mills fell into pick 152.
The Eagles indulged a want in McCullough while a need in cornerback, quarterback and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Tre Harris in No. 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Value with a capital V on Oscar Delp in slot 89, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Nice patience on Kaimon Rucker, who had no business lasting to the 95th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They will replay Nic Anderson at Round 4, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Dasan McCullough while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
They barely believed it either: Rylie Mills still on the board at pick 152. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at slot 153 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
A slide stopped in pick No. 173, with Lathan Ransom worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They paid sticker price for Marques Cox in the 185th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease Jr. in the 194th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 7, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
