The Eagles spent real capital to be 54 picks early on Julian Fleming, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Gadsden II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Myles Garrett deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 32 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
A conviction pick on Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 3, Pick 32 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Value said wait; Julian Fleming in pick 257 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
