The Philadelphia Eagles made a total of 9 picks during the 2024 NFL Draft, including top cornerback prospects Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. Mitchell, known for his outstanding athleticism and playmaking ability in off-coverage, is expected to bolster the Eagles' defense. DeJean, a versatile player, could potentially line up at multiple positions. Other notable selections include edge rusher Jalyx Hunt, running back Will Shipley, and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Additionally, the Eagles addressed key needs by adding wide receivers, guards, and a center to their roster. The team received an impressive draft grade of A+. One standout rookie to watch is Mitchell, who has excelled in forcing incompletions and showcasing elite recovery speed and acceleration in college. While he may need to improve his press coverage skills, Mitchell's overall potential as a CB1 is promising.
