Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Eagles came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Tampa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Reaching for Chambers left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 34
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 63
They took Jermaine Burton at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 78
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 93
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 93rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 92
Tyleik Williams at the 97th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 112
They liked Blake Fisher enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 124
Gabriel Murphy is a better player than pick No. 137 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 150
Mike Sainristil at the 150th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 154
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 161
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ainias Smith in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 163
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in Round 6, Pick 1, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 168
They read the board right and Lathan Ransom was the payoff at the 178th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 268
They talked themselves into Steele Chambers at No. 249, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
