The real work happened on the phones. The Eagles fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The veteran additions, Mike Evans chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 26th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
