When a board-topper like Roman Wilson slides to Round 3, Pick 34, you do not overthink it, and the Eagles did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Crumedy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 45th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 54 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Taking Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 34 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at pick 135, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
MarShawn Lloyd in the 144th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Fair-plus on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Crumedy this early at the 240th overall pick. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
