The rest of the league had time to spare on Eyabi Okie-Anoma; the Eagles did not wait, grabbing him 93 spots ahead at slot 172. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Rosengarten makes the weekend a net positive.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the 25th pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 25
In pick No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 74
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 10. The roster fit checks out.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 128
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 112th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
A conviction pick on Jarrian Jones at No. 136 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 24. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at pick 168. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
Roger Rosengarten at the 170th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 223
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 265
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 218
Michael Barrett at No. 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
