2) Cooper DeJean, CB, Philadelphia Eagles: DeJean landed in a great spot as the second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles (No. 40 overall) — but he surely had to be disappointed by how long it took to find a home. This is a player who has first-round ability, even after his final season at Iowa ended with a broken fibula. The problem is, the first round of this draft wasn’t especially kind to defensive players, and certainly not to defensive backs. There wasn’t a single defensive player taken in the first 14 selections, and no cornerbacks came off the board until the Eagles selected Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell with the 22nd overall pick. Two more cornerbacks went in the first round — Arnold to Detroit and Nate Wiggins to Baltimore at No. 30 — and that left DeJean as the odd man out. The upside is that he’s going to an Eagles team that is committed to improving a weak defense, and new coordinator Vic Fangio will have a great plan for him. DeJean has the versatility to play corner, safety and in the slot. He may prove to be one of the best steals of this draft.
