Eagles News: Cooper DeJean poised to be one of the most impactful non-Round 1 rookies

Ranking NFL rookie year impact for non-Round 1 draft picks - ESPN+
5. Cooper DeJean, CB/S, Philadelphia Eagles (No. 40). This might seem a little low for DeJean, given that I viewed him as a first-round talent. But the Eagles also have a hypothetical top-three cornerback trio of Quinyon Mitchell, James Bradberry and Darius Slay, which of course would impact his role if he plays there exclusively. That being said, DeJean could take over a slot corner role right away and also contribute at safety. His skill set is too good and versatile for him to sit for long.
