Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Eagles a B-, Leonard and all.

The board owed the Eagles one, and it paid up: Riley Leonard, the No. 130 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 165 like a gift left on the doorstep.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Roberts to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 32nd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 2, Pick 32 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
No drama and no debate, Ashton Gillotte went about where he belonged in No. 96. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cobee Bryant in pick No. 134. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick 164 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Circle this one: Riley Leonard at slot 165 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They paid sticker price for Ollie Gordon II in the 168th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
