Philadelphia Eagles

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Eagles to a D-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Eagles reached some 58 spots for Eric Watts, and value like that does not grow back. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Murphy II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 17
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at No. 39, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 21. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 70
They took Devontez Walker at par in slot 66, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
They went early on Brenden Rice in pick No. 88, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at slot 93, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
The board had Cam Hart higher than pick 108, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
They paid a round early for Isaac Guerendo in the 113th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 177
A reach for Ro Torrence in the 166th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 175
Layden Robinson at No. 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
Eric Watts at No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
Fair-plus on Julian Pearl, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
