The trade table was a mismatch, and the Eagles were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Minkah Fitzpatrick pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. A real need, handled.
A tidy little value on Kamari Lassiter in the 33rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in Round 2, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
