Somebody in pick No. 243 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Eagles sat still while Jawhar Jordan, the No. 209 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The final tally is a middling C.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Trotter Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In pick 18 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
A conviction pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 52 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 83
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at No. 97. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 118
Dillon Johnson in Round 4, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than slot 137, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 152
McCallan Castles is a better player than the 163rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 142
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 187
They paid a round early for Josh Proctor in pick 178, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Taking Jawhar Jordan in slot 243 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
