You can hear the double-takes from here. The Eagles took Brandon Coleman at No. 120, roughly 65 spots before his name belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 15 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in No. 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at the 120th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Mohamed Kamara in pick 127 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
