Yesterday Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus had a tweet that drew the ire of many Eagles fans.
The Eagles have a bunch of cost-controlled mediocrity at the most valuable position on defense (CB), but they're "set."

Because it’s fun to refute people’s claims with their own work, or “clapback” as the kids say, I had a little fun.
Palazzolo’s point isn’t completely wrong (though his claim that cornerback is the most valuable position on defense is hilariously wrong), but his framing ignores the whole picture, which can just as easily be spun as a positive.
