You could see the war room lean forward. Garrett Nussmeier at the 202nd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Eagles clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick-by-Pick
Colston Loveland in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Quinshon Judkins in pick 64 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to slot 102, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jabbar Muhammad in the 130th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They barely believed it either: Ashton Gillotte still on the board at the 135th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Sebastian Castro at No. 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Tre Harris in pick No. 163 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Somehow Garrett Nussmeier was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They robbed the room for Collin Oliver here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
