You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Eagles did exactly that with Trey Knox in the Round 5 slot.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Trotter Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver and quarterback still on the board. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
A straight-up fair deal on Graham Barton at slot 27, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 50. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
They talked themselves into Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A premium they did not need to pay, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 68
A want over a need in the 86th pick: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker while wide receiver and quarterback keeps waiting.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 79
They read the board right and Brandon Dorlus was the payoff at the 87th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany in the 93rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at No. 120 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 224
Trey Knox in the 171st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 199
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in pick 172, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 223
Gabe Hall at slot 210 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
