The Andrew Raym pick is the one that will follow the Eagles into the fall. They took him 61 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Stutsman is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Danny Stutsman at linebacker with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Smael Mondon Jr. while clear needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in pick No. 97 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in slot 137, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
They reached a country mile for Walter Rouse at the 253rd pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
