2024 Projections
Philadelphia-bound in second round
The Eagles selected DeJean in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 40th overall.
ANALYSIS
DeJean was widely viewed as a viable first-round pick after an impressive Iowa career, so if his draft fall was unwarranted, then this could prove a steal for the Eagles. Philadelphia went into the draft with major concerns at cornerback, but between the selections of DeJean and first-round corner Quinyon Mitchell those worries are basically gone now. Mitchell is mostly a boundary corner, whereas DeJean (6-foot-1, 202 pounds) is more of a safety tweener who figures to hold a greater slot presence than on the outside. In addition to immediately competing for snaps in the slot and at safety, DeJean might get some punt-return work after returning one punt and three interceptions for touchdowns in college.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Eagles aggressively pursue Friday
The Eagles traded three picks to move up to the 40th overall selection during the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and pick DeJean, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
DeJean, who was a standout at Iowa and garnered both first-team All-American and Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year honors in 2023, had widely been projected as a first-round pick. However, with cornerback a position of need for Philadelphia and DeJean still on the board as the second round began Friday night, the Eagles opted to trade both of their second-round picks and a fifth-rounder to the division-rival Commanders, receiving the 40th and 78th overall selections and using the first of those to secure DeJean's services.
