Nobody had Phil Jurkovec this high, and it is not close. The Eagles reached 48 spots to get him at No. 253.
The Thomas Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
They reached into another round for Cooper DeJean, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in slot 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quinyon Mitchell at No. 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 97 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 137 with a little surplus value in Jamon Dumas-Johnson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A tidy little value on Darius Robinson in the 147th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nice patience on Will Shipley, who had no business lasting to No. 172. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phil Jurkovec well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
