There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Eagles started one anyway for Joe Milton III, 29 picks ahead of schedule.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Oladapo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in pick 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at pick No. 161 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Joe Milton III in the 171st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A slide stopped in pick 210, with Kendall Milton worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
