The Eagles lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They will need Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
So much rides on Nate Wiggins that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 23rd pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In No. 24 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Tyler Nubin graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in pick 161. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Trente Jones slipping to the 210th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
