The Philadelphia Eagles need to upgrade the defensive backfield.

In the football world, it’s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles need to fill a bevy of holes across the roster. Be it on offense at the wideout position or on defense, where the revolving door at cornerback and linebacker has been an issue for years, the Birds could go with quite a few prospects and find something that they need.

Still, even after trading for Pro-Bowler Darius Slay, the Birds’ defensive backfield is still a mess. The need to find young, talented, and versatile prospects who could be developed into stars is obvious.
