Following a historic collapse in which the Eagles lost six of their final seven games, Philadelphia made major changes to the coaching staff.
With Vic Fangio (DC) and Kellen Moore (OC) joining the NovaCare Complex, the good energy has returned.
It’s never too early to consider the NFL draft, and Howie Roseman has the tools to completely revamp the roster given the abundance of defensive holes.
Philadelphia won’t select an off-the-ball linebacker in the first round this spring, as they have never done before, but Howie Roseman will rebuild in the trenches and might select a well-known player at cornerback.

The Eagles will surely want to bolster their secondary this offseason, perhaps at both safety and cornerback, after giving up the second-highest amount of passing yards in the NFL (4,296) in the previous campaign. James Bradberry will turn 31 the next season, and Darius Slay is now 33 years old.
At six feet two, Wiggins is a respectable size for the position and has good speed. He possesses two crucial qualities for any cornerback: a short memory in coverage and an incredible amount of confidence when playing.
