Howie Roseman explains why the Eagles drafted Quinyon Mitchell

The Eagles were able to stay put at No. 22 overall to get their guy, Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, on Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Howie Roseman, with Nick Sirianni beside him, spoke to reporters at the end of the first round and talked about how they made the decision not to trade, why they felt comfortable taking Mitchell, and how the CB fits into the Eagles defense.

“Excited to get Quinyon Mitchell to Philadelphia. I think that for us, as the board kind of came off, and a lot of offensive players came off, we felt like we were in a good position.
