The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tahj Washington, the No. 188 name on the board, in the 210th overall pick.

The Trotter Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 20
In pick No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 53, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
A curious use of the Round 2 slot. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jeremiah Trotter Jr. did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 89
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 100
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at slot 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 143
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to the 161st pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 169
No edge and no loss on Kamal Hadden in the 171st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith at the 172nd overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 182
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Tip Reiman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 188
Tahj Washington at No. 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
