The one they had to fix is still broken. The Eagles left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
Getting Thrash where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in the 51st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Jonathon Brooks for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 97th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in pick 137, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 11, with Jamari Thrash worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No drama and no debate, Steve Linton went about where he belonged in No. 172. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
BJ Mayes at slot 178 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wild overpay on Layden Robinson in Round 7, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
