The Philadelphia Eagles absolutely nailed the early rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Eagles entered that draft desperately needing to strength the secondary, and they did just that.
In the first round of the draft, the Eagles added cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and in the second round they selected slot cornerback Cooper DeJean. Together that cornerback duo has completely transformed Philadelphia’s defense under Vic Fangio.
Now less than two years after they were drafted by the Eagles in consecutive rounds, they’ve both been named first-team All-Pro for the 2025 season.
