Grand theft in slot 64: the Eagles steal Watts and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Watts, the No. 44 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 64.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The cost of the Tuten reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They let Walter Nolen come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 32. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at slot 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A reasonable price with a little left over, Gunnar Helm in pick 96. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached a country mile for Bhayshul Tuten at No. 134, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Fair-plus on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in pick No. 164 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
By-the-book stuff, Chase Lundt at the 165th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
