NFL Draft: 5 UTR cornerback prospects Eagles could start with Darius Slay

Let’s do a quick roll call. There’s the newly-acquired Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman. There’s Avonte Maddox, Cre’Von LeBlanc, and Sidney Jones. There’s also Rasul Douglas and Craig James. That’s what the Philadelphia Eagles have at cornerback heading into the 2020 NFL Draft if the plan is, indeed, to move Jalen Mills to the strong safety spot in place of the departed Malcolm Jenkins.

Having Slay in the fold should help you sleep better at night if you’re a “Birds” fan, but if you’re concerned that there’s no clear plan for figuring out who the guy should be on the other side of the defensive formation, don’t second-guess yourself.
