The rest of the league will want that one back. Walter Nolen tumbling to the Eagles in slot 164 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Wyatt Milum at the 63rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the 128th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to No. 160, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Walter Nolen in pick No. 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Taking Colston Loveland in slot 166 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
