The Philadelphia Eagles retooling of their roster will likely continue into the 2021 offseason when some serious salary cap questions will need to be answered.
The Eagles could be $51 million over the cap in 2021 and several big named veterans may face restructured deals or outright release. With the 2021 salary cap likely to be lowered, the NFL Draft could provide a remedy for supplanting young talent on the cheap.
Pro Football Focus recently released its preseason 2021 NFL mock draft and the Eagles add another rangy All American safety from the ACC.
23. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES — S ANDRE CISCO, SYRACUSE
I don’t anticipate a safety with 4.3 speed and 12 picks by the end of his true sophomore year lasting too long in the draft. While his tape is incredibly up and down at this point, you can’t teach the sort of playmaking ability he possesses.
A two-year starter at safety and a 2020 preseason first-team All-American, Cisco had five interceptions, five pass breakups, and 65 tackles on the season despite missing three games to injury.
A ballhawk, Cisco led the ACC interceptions each of his first two seasons.
