The Philadelphia Eagles strategically traded up to secure the 40th overall pick from the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean. In the trade, the Eagles exchanged their 50th, 53rd, and 161st picks for the Commanders' 40th, 78th, and 152nd picks. DeJean, known for allowing no receiving touchdowns in the previous season and his versatility to play as a cornerback, safety, or slot, significantly bolsters the Eagles' secondary. This move followed their selection of Quinyon Mitchell, further strengthening their defensive lineup.

Love the trade back for the Commanders. Round two and round three is where the trade back value is so good. Big fan of this swap. Commanders add: Pick 50, Pick 53, Pick 161. Eagles get: 40, Pick 78, Pick 152.

DeJean, 21, is 6-feet and 202 pounds. Can play all around the formation — CB, safety, slot. He can help in multiple spots and can also pair with Quinyon Mitchell as CB combo long-term. The Eagles take pride in the 2002 draft when they took Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown in the…
After a trade with Washington, the @Eagles are getting ANOTHER top CB in Iowa's Cooper DeJean https://t.co/SI2eSezfFo
So, the Eagles trade picks Nos. 50, 53, and 161 to the Washington Commanders for Nos. 40, 78, and 152 to select defensive back Cooper DeJean. Eagles secondary is getting younger and more talented with Mitchell and DeJean on board.

Eagles trade up, pick Cooper DeJean in second round of 2024 NFL draft. https://t.co/BrVDZjKm1X
So basically the Philadelphia Eagles had the best CB in the draft, Toldeo's Quinyon Mitchell, fall into their laps at 22 last night. And then they find a way to get Cooper DeJean, the CB they probably would have taken at 22 if Mitchell wasn't there, in the second round. Howie: https://t.co/v8f8qiMRdx
Looks like the #Eagles jumped the Packers for DeJean … https://t.co/92JrND6HXh
FWIW - Cooper DeJean was the No. 1 defensive player on my board, and the #Eagles got him in the second-round. Regardless of where you view him, a top-5 defender/corner in the second is insane value.
The #Eagles moved up to pick 40 in a trade with Washington to select Iowa CB Cooper DeJean. Howie keeps loading up the secondary.
Eagles trade up to pick No. 40 and snag Cooper DeJean. 😤 https://t.co/54rfDG5ir4
Of course it's the #Eagles who get Cooper DeJean when he slides for no reason other than -- well "maybe" he can't play boundary. Oh he'll play boundary fine in zone if they need him. But he can play nickel, safety. DeJean was one of my FIVE favorite pure playmakers on defense.
Eagles get Cooper DeJean, who's been comped to Jevon Hollard & Minkah Fitzpatrick: "This is the best DB in the class. He has the rare ability to be a nickel one year, a safety the next & a corner the next. He’ll be a great chess piece." https://t.co/stZohbH0K5…
