Larceny in No. 96 lands the Eagles a B, Higgins and all.

The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jayden Higgins, the No. 68 name on the board, in slot 96.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Gadsden II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 32nd pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 64, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 96 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They let Hollin Pierce come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 28. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at pick No. 162. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in slot 180. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 241st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
