Eagles News: Philadelphia got one the best rookie team fits

2024 NFL draft: Best rookie team fits, perfect landing spots - ESPN+
Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Philadelphia Eagles. Drafted: Round 1, No. 22. Why he fits: The Eagles landed the top corner in the draft with Mitchell, and I see a pretty seamless fit here under new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Mitchell can use his explosive downhill speed — he ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the combine — when playing off the ball in Cover 3 or quarters. But he also has the man coverage skills to challenge on the perimeter, with the ability to open and run with receivers on vertical concepts.
