There is conviction, and then there is this. The Eagles took Cedric Gray a full 63 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Thomas Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
