Philadelphia Eagles must fix the secondary quickly

Anyone who watched a Philadelphia Eagles game in 2016 should be able to tell you that their pass defense was atrocious.

More specifically, the cornerback play was just flat out bad.

Leodis McKelvin may have had 16 passes defensed, but he gave up almost twice as many over his head. Nolan Carroll was average at best and Ron Brooks (another Buffalo Bills retread) was lost seven weeks into the season. That left seventh-round rookie Jalen Mills as the “top” corner.
