The board owed the Eagles one, and it paid up: James Pearce Jr., the No. 12 name on the board, sitting there at pick 32 like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
