Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Eagles were there to profit. Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 99 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 161.

They will need Gillotte to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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