The phones sank the Eagles this weekend: D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Eagles did exactly that with Jalen McLeod in pick No. 164.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 64 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in pick No. 96, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at No. 117 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
The board had Jackson Slater higher than No. 158, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Value with a capital V on O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at slot 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
No drama and no debate, Jake Briningstool went about where he belonged in the 165th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They jumped the gun on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 199th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
