Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 20, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Foster left real value on the table behind him.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 29 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Ashton Gillotte in No. 62 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 93rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reach for Bryce Foster in pick No. 165; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Zane Durant at the 167th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Ben Yurosek at pick 214 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
