The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2020 offseason looking to make major changes on both sides of the ball, with the goal being to get younger and more athletic quickly.
The Eagles are likely to address their needs via the early stages of free agency and with their 10 likely picks in the NFL Draft. With Carson Wentz needing weapons and more help, Pro Football Focus named the biggest offseason needs for all 32 teams.
For the Eagles, the needs were obvious and straight to the point.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: A FIELD-STRETCHING WIDE RECEIVER
Secondary needs: cornerbacks, safety
The existence of a deep passing game disappeared after DeSean Jackson injured his abdominal muscle twice in 2019, relegating the Eagles offense to a plodding attack at times. Even with Jackson returning, it’ll be imperative for the Eagles to target two or three dynamic playmakers, via the draft.
On the defense, the Eagles have a solid core with their front seven, but Howie Roseman and company will attempt a massive overhaul in the secondary, after the cornerback’s severe struggles over the past two seasons.
