Somebody in the 62nd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Eagles sat still while Jalon Walker, the No. 25 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick-by-Pick
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Tai Felton slipping to pick No. 104 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Evan Stewart in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
