You can hear the double-takes from here. The Eagles took Tanner McLachlan at pick 243, roughly 24 spots before his name belonged.
The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
They did well to land Devontez Walker in the 50th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in pick No. 54. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Tykee Smith at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Good price on MarShawn Lloyd in slot 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to pick 172. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
