The 2017 NFL Draft is less then a month away. After signing two wide receivers in free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles may now be shifting their attention to drafting on the defensive side of the ball. After cutting cornerback Leodis McKelvin and letting Nolan Carroll walk, the Eagles are left with a slim secondary headlined by one-year vet Jalen Mills and five-year vet Ron Brooks.
It’s been a while since the Eagles have had stable corners. After years of trying to patch up the secondary issues through free agency, it is now time for the Eagles to gamble on a corner and draft one high.
