The Eagles traded with the Washington Commanders to move up to nab a second early-round defensive back.
The Eagles continued revamping their secondary on Friday, trading up 10 spots in the second round to take Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean with the 40th overall pick.
His versatility was apparent at Iowa, where he’d sometimes line up in the slot to match up with tight ends. He spent some time as a box safety as well and said the Eagles talked to him about playing all three spots during the predraft process, which would make sense, considering new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s tendency to deploy defensive backs from multiple alignments in the secondary to help disguise coverages.
DeJean was considered a first-round prospect in the lead-up to the draft but slid along with the rest of the cornerback class. It’s worth noting the Green Bay Packers, another team in need of secondary help, traded out of the 41st pick after the Eagles’ took DeJean. The Eagles, who broke the defensive back drought on Thursday night by selecting Toledo corner Quinyon Mitchell No. 22 overall, now have two potential building blocks in the secondary sitting atop their 2024 draft class.
