Cornerback

  1. Jalen Mills
  2. Patrick Robinson
  3. Ron Brooks
  4. Rasul Douglas
  5. C.J. Smith
  6. Dwayne Gratz
  7. Sidney Jones (INJURED)

The Eagles did a good job of addressing the cornerback position in the draft. It’ll just take a while to see the end result. Sidney Jones may not play in 2017 due to the Achilles injury he suffered at his pro day in March.

Rasul Douglas, however, has the chance to make an immediate impact. While he is listed here as the fourth corner on the roster, he could catapult himself into a starting spot if he performs well in training camp. While Jalen Mills did show some good signs as a rookie, he may not be the best option to start on the outside against faster receivers.
