The Eagles revamped their coaching staff this spring, hiring Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator after parting ways with Sean Desai.
Fangio likes to mix coverages and schemes, and his first order of business will be adding a Swiss army knife to the roster that can free up C.J. Gardner-Johnson to make plays. Philadelphia has Darius Slay and James Bradberry as cornerbacks, while Avonte Maddox and Tyler Hall will compete at the slot cornerback spot.
Reed Blankenship just earned a new two-year deal, and Sydney Brown is working to rehab from a torn ACL.
The NFL draft is nine days away, and Peter Schrager released his first mock draft of the season for NFL.com.
Using intel he gathered from executives and scouts, Schrager has Philadelphia making a splashy move and drafting Iowa’s Cooper DeJean.
DeJean had an outstanding college career and excelled at his private workout. He can play corner or safety and is a special team Swiss Army Knife. Is 22 too rich? Maybe. But I can see him in an Eagles uniform.
DeJean can play cornerback, safety, and slot while offering elite potential as a kick and punt return specialist.
DeJean is an elite athlete with dynamic speed and flair for the dramatic.
