The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 208 name on the board, in the 249th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Kinchens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 28 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Kamren Kinchens in the 45th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 1: Khyree Jackson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Monheim went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
