If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Eagles, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 54th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Value with a capital V on Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 3, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A slide stopped in pick 68, with Christen Miller worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Lance went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Somehow Logan Jones was still sitting there in pick No. 114, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at the 117th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Bishop Fitzgerald slipping to pick No. 137 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Charles Demmings at slot 153 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Beau Stephens at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Kevin Coleman Jr. slid further than he should have, and No. 175 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Matt Gulbin at the 178th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
They read the board right and Taylen Green was the payoff at pick 196. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Dallen Bentley in the 197th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Noah Whittington in Round 7, Pick 18 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Fair-plus on Robert Spears-Jennings, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Nice patience on Brent Austin, who had no business lasting to slot 244. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
