The Eagles looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot regardless, 58 picks early.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cypress II.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the 66th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick 68, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Max Melton this early at the 95th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Nelson Ceaser at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Fair-plus on Javon Foster, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Ben Sinnott in the 157th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Curtis Jacobs in Round 5, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Nice patience on Fentrell Cypress II, who had no business lasting to pick 246. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
