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

Call it larceny. Jacob Parrish sat on the board until No. 161, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If West pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 2, Pick 32 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in slot 96 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at pick No. 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in the 164th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Addison West
They talked themselves into Addison West at No. 165, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 168th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
