Eagles' Safety Draft Picks: Top Tier to Day Three

0:00It's April 21st, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. Eagles got a glaring hole at safety heading into the NFL draft, with Andrew Mukuba and Marcus Epps holding down the starters, but no real depth beyond. That. Cooper Dejan might chip in part time, but they need a legit starter who fits Vic Fangio's own heavy-scheme think range, instincts, and ball skills. Eagles here prioritize Eagles' needs over Raw talent, grouped in tiers from top picks to day three values, expecting how he rose meant to strike on day. 2. Rather than burn the 23rd overall selection, top tier studs like Caleb Downs from Ohio State are elite centerfield playmakers, but he's gone in the top 10 no shot for Philly. Dylan Thaineman out of Oregon screams perfect fit with his deep coverage and consistency around one dream at 23, though it might not happen. Moving to rounds one through two, guys like a manual McNeil Warren from Toledo bring size, range, and production that could upgrade the back end fast.

1:04Even if he's a late first rounder, AJ Halsey from LSU offers versatility as a split safety patroller, ideal for pick 54 and round two without top end speed concerns. Day three gyms include Trayden Stukes from Arizona State, a combine beast who could flip between safety and nickel, adding match-up flexibility with Dejan. Players like Kante Scott, Jaylon Kilgore, and Kamari Ramsey mix athleticism and tackling for depth, while Bud Quartz ball-hawking stands out despite, size issues, solid if they buy the profile. Philly's smart to hunt value later, building a versatile secondary without overreaching early key buys on the board as it falls.
