Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Eagles, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Landing Smith-Wade that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Eagles clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
Fair-plus on Jared Verse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at slot 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith in the 97th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
Tyler Davis at the 106th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
Malik Washington at No. 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Cole Bishop at pick No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 132
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Daijun Edwards graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 145
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
Joe Milton III in the 163rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 167
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at slot 164 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 180
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 38. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
They let Chau Smith-Wade come to them and pounced at pick 178. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Jeremy Flax · OT · rank 235
Jeremy Flax at No. 228 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
