The Eagles’ 2021 NFL Draft is about setting a new tone

The Eagles crashed and burned in 2020 for a number of reasons: lack of playmakers at the offensive and defensive skill positions, poor quarterback play, bad injury luck, and worse depth … but what was evident over the whole year is that the team lacked an identity that had once powered it to a Super Bowl victor and subsequent playoff appearances.

The team lacked spirit and fight.

The Eagles hit the reset button when they hired Nick Sirianni and shipped Carson Wentz out of town. With not much cap space to spend in free agency, all eyes shifted to a draft class where they had 11 picks.
