The Eagles did not so much draft Tyler Harrell as overpay for him, 106 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 33
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 50th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 54, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe at slot 81 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 97 on Javon Solomon with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 117
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Washington. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
Braelon Allen in slot 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 147
Jaylin Simpson at pick 154 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 162
Joe Milton III at No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 190
A big swing on Christian Jones at the 172nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 196
They reached into another round for Jared Wiley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tyler Harrell · WR · rank 349
Tyler Harrell in pick No. 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
