The rest of the league will want that one back. De'Corian Clark tumbling to the Eagles in pick 243 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
The board had Kamren Kinchens higher than pick 50, and the safety fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They will replay Xavier Legette at No. 54 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Blake Corum in pick No. 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in the 137th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
The board fumbled Ben Sinnott all the way to the 164th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Wright at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Grayson Murphy in slot 178. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
De'Corian Clark at pick 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
