During the first couple of days of the 2018 NFL Combine, we learned that the Philadelphia Eagles had worked their way into a formal meeting with Texas Longhorns inside linebacker Malik Jefferson. No one had any problem with that. If there’s any question about the Eagles defense, it’s probably at the second level. There’s talent, but they’re thin and there are question marks.
As the 2018 NFL Draft approaches, expect a lot of talk to be focused on that unit. A season ago, we questioned the durability of Jordan Hicks slightly despite the fact that he completed the 2016 regular season without anything catastrophic happening.
