If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Eagles, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Nourzad reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Tracy Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
Nothing to complain about; Ladd McConkey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 50, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
Gabriel Murphy at the 88th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 91
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 121
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at the 120th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 147
A conviction pick on Mason McCormick at slot 138 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 158
Hunter Nourzad in No. 142 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at the 161st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 151
The board had Tyrone Tracy Jr. higher than pick 167, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 185
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 162
A quiet steal in the 171st pick: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 172
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at No. 172 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 200
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kendall Milton at pick No. 210. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
