The Eagles cashed the board's mistake on Pieper: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kade Pieper tumbling to the Eagles in the Round 3 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Eagles indulged a want in Moore while a need in edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Leonard Moore adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Tae Johnson, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
A curious use of No. 106. Edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Ty Benefield did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They read the board right and DJ McKinney was the payoff at the 143rd overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at pick 152 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick159 Rnd5 Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover in Round 5, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mark Nabou Jr. in pick 234. It fills a real need, too.
