Howie Roseman deciding to finally invest draft capital on cornerbacks in 2024 is going to end up being one of the smartest moves he’s made.
Rookies always face a steep learning curve as they transition from college to the NFL, and even some of the top picks don’t contribute until later their first season or even into their second season. That hasn’t been a problem for first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell who has been a consistent bright spot for the Eagles defense since Week 1.
Early second-round pick Cooper DeJean had to wait just a little longer to make an impact after suffering a hamstring injury ahead of training camp.
