absolutely abysmal secondary. Slay may have 1 decent season left in him and James Bradberry was arguably the worst starting CB in the league last year. This is like 2002 all over again when the Eagles drafted Lito Shepherd and Sheldon Brown in the 1st/2nd round to replace Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent. They also drafted Michael Lewis in the 3rd, who flashed early on, but ultimately fizzled out bc he was an old school in the box safety.
Love the aggressive movie by Howie. There was going to be run on CBs - starting with Kool-Aid and Cooper DeJean. Might as well go for a guy you think is elite than hope a guy you have rated lower is still there 10 picks later (Edgerrin Cooper wasn’t). Also, they already picked out by Mitchell falling in their laps.
