Creating a new football language from the ashes of two lost 2023 seasons
The initial thought was that whoever the Eagles hired to replace Brian Johnson as offensive coordinator would have full autonomy over the offense while Nick Sirianni morphed into a CEO and leadership position. “I'm hiring him to do a job and to be in charge of the offense,” Nick Sirianni said back in January. Now the conversation is about blending Sirianni's offense with Kellen Moore's, taking the best elements of both systems and schemes and emerging with a new, improved, unstoppable scheme.

This pick might be the steal of the draft when we look back. The Eagles just got a player who checks all the boxes that a team could want for a cornerback prospect — from production to athleticism. Mitchell is the exact type of prospect the Eagles needed to add and has real shutdown potential in the NFL.

DeJean’s slide stops here. He has the talent to play any spot in the secondary, including the outside. The Eagles needed to continue to revamp their secondary with young talent and they’ve done a hell of a job by adding DeJean to a draft class that includes Quinyon Mitchell.

Edge depth is never a bad thing. Hunt is a bit undersized, but the Eagles have gravitated toward those body types on the edge recently with some good results.
