Philly V DRAFTING FOR THEEagles

The Eagles let Ponds fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: D'Angelo Ponds, pick 68, roughly 18 picks past where he belonged.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Curry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
No edge and no loss on Eli Stowers in pick No. 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
They barely believed it either: D'Angelo Ponds still on the board at the 68th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Markel Bell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Markel Bell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 122nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at pick 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in slot 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 169th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at pick 179, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick210
Rnd6
Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at slot 210 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
