Philadelphia Eagles

The phones sank the Eagles this weekend: D-.

Future C+

Somebody took the Eagles to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

It is not that Wilson is a bad player; it is that the Eagles had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 33
By-the-book stuff, Quinyon Mitchell at pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 37
Kamren Kinchens in the 36th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 23
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 8, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 44
A tidy bit of business in No. 52, where Jonah Elliss graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 50
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in pick No. 54. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 65 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · D.J. James · CB · rank 64
A clean, defensible pick in the 67th pick with a little surplus value in D.J. James. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 4 leaves running back and tight end for later.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
The board had Brenden Rice higher than pick 88, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at No. 119, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Cole Bishop at pick No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 135 on Cedric Gray with running back and tight end unsolved.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
They took Jordan Travis at par in the 137th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
