The Eagles torched the value chart for Kalil Alexander, taking him 59 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Rodriguez where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Perkins Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value.
Dillon Thieneman in slot 54 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 34 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Trey Moore at pick No. 122 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Good price on Jude Bowry in the 129th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Harold Perkins Jr., a linebacker that was not the priority.
CJ Daniels at pick 153 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board had Ar'maj Reed-Adams higher than No. 178, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Terion Stewart well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Value said wait; Kalil Alexander in the 229th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
