Call it larceny. Kamari Lassiter sat on the board until No. 50, and the Eagles did not need to be asked twice.
If Ulofoshio pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at the 50th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Dorlus at the 59th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Junior Colson slipping to pick No. 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 137, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Jaylin Simpson at slot 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A tidy bit of business in pick 178, where J. Michael Sturdivant graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They liked Dylan McMahon enough to skip the value, taking him in the 248th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
