Somebody took the Eagles to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
The Sarratt steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Mesidor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Good price on A.J. Haulcy in Round 2, Pick 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eli Stowers in pick 66. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board fumbled D'Angelo Ponds all the way to the 68th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Mike Washington Jr. in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 101 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
They will replay Elijah Sarratt at the 114th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Trey Zuhn III in No. 130 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Proctor went about where he belonged in pick 137. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A slide stopped in pick No. 178, with Kevin Coleman Jr. worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Keagen Trost in the 184th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Payton. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A reach for Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 7, Pick 9; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
