The Eagles have taken a bit of a break from their eternal sourcing of players via free agency to take care of some business at home the last few weeks.
Not only did the expected extension of AJ Brown and DeVonta Smithget done, but Howie Roseman and his team also agreed to extensions with fellow key players in Jordan Mailata and Reed Blankenship.
That all changed on Thursday, of course, as their primary and total focus is on the 2024 NFL Draft and how they will maneuver around to get the guys they value most.
Evidently, they didn’t need to maneuver at all.
One of the Birds’ biggest needs was defensive back and as luck would have it all of the top rate corners were available at No. 22.
With the No. 22 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Eagles selected cornerback Quinyon Mitchell from the University of Toledo. Mitchell flew up the NFL Draft boards after performing extremely well in the NFL Combine. A consensus All-American, Mitchell is widely considered the top corner back in the draft.
