Ranking the Eagles vs. Other NFC East CB Rooms Ahead of Training Camp

A lot of things can change quickly. That’s the beauty of football. Change is constant and continuous, and a struggling roster can be revamped in the snap of a finger. Just look at the Philadelphia Eagles if you need an example of how accurate that statement is.

When the curtain came down on the most recent season, we questioned everything from depth to whether or not James Bradberry could still play. One reactivation (Isaiah Rodgers) and two draft additions later (Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean), Philly’s cornerback is mentioned as one of the biggest strengths on the roster.

Don’t forget the return of CJ Gardner Johnson and the young safeties (Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown). However, if this defense skyrockets, the cornerback room will have a lot of say in making that happen.

The buzz reached fever pitch after the minicamp and some great individual performances. How do the guys from Philly compare to their NFC East peers? We’re glad you asked. Here is a ranking. Let’s see if your list looks like ours.

The Giants only own the secondary in the NFC East. They could be home to one of the worst five in the league. There’s not much to get excited about here.

Deonte Banks, Cor’Dale Flott, Nick McCloud, Tre Hawkins III and Andru Phillips may be among the guys with the best chance of making the roster. This unit isn’t the scariest we’ve seen, but games are won on paper. We’ll see how things go during the regular season, but this seems like a unit Philly can take advantage of.

The Washington Commanders cornerback room isn’t as bad as what we see in New York, but it’s not much better either. Mike Sainristil was taken 50th overall in the most recent NFL Draft. Chigozie Anusiem and AJ Woods were added as undrafted rookie free agents.

Benjamin St-Juste, Emmanuel Forbes, Jartavius ​​Martin, Mike Sainristil and Michael Davis are probably the best on Washington’s depth chart at the position. Noah Igbinoghene was signed in March, but the Commanders might miss Kendall Fuller more than they think.

Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, Kelee Ringo, Avonte Maddox, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean feel like favorites to make the roster. We’ll see what happens with James Bradberry. The rookies obviously have a lot to prove.

Still, this unit has a lot of potential to be great AND an opportunity to take the top spot on this list if things go well. For the moment…

It’s hard to give the hated Dallas Cowboys credit for anything. They look good at the cornerback position, however. Many see this as one of the best venues in the entire NFL.

Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland can create big plays quickly and turn good defense into immediate scores. The first returns this season after an injury which ended last season.

The Cowboys are transitioning from the leadership of Dan Quinn to new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Will the secondary rise under him? We’ll see, but we repeat… The Birds are coming!
