The Eagles spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Luke McCaffrey, the No. 149 name on the board, in pick No. 210. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Every board in the league had Greenfield lower, and that gap is the story. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 22 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in No. 50, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board had cheaper options than Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 53, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A slide stopped in slot 120, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garret Greenfield. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in the 172nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in the 210th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
