Philadelphia Eagles

More right than wrong for the Eagles, and a B to prove it.

The Eagles torched the value chart for Xavier Thomas, taking him 42 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Nubin makes the weekend a net positive. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
They did well to land Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 37, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
Tyler Nubin in pick 50 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Kalen King · CB · rank 40
A tidy bit of business in the 54th pick, where Kalen King graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in slot 85, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
A clean, defensible pick in the 97th overall pick with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. The roster fit checks out.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
They paid up for Cedric Gray at No. 127 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in the 160th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 169
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 34 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 185
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in No. 178. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 224
Kenny Logan Jr. at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.16 · Pick 236 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 278
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at pick 236, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 262
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan McMahon in pick No. 240, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 260
They liked Matthew Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 244. It fills a real need, too.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 258
Joshua Cephus at the 245th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
