Philadelphia Eagles

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Eagles and Pritchett: D.

Future B-

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Put together, it is a D.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Pritchett steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In slot 22 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 15
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in pick 50, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 49
Jonah Elliss at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 72
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in the 74th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
Johnny Wilson in the 85th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
Tykee Smith in slot 97 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
Good price on Leonard Taylor III in pick 116, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 141
A tidy little value on Jaheim Bell in Round 5, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 147
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint is a better player than No. 160 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 144
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 153
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 161
Jaylen Wright slipping to the 178th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 215
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Omar Speights in No. 240, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
