The Eagles have missed badly drafting safeties ever since. Interestingly, the only starter to come out of the NFL draft since 2010 was someone who wasn't even drafted. That was Reed Blankenship, who was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Blankenship started five games as a rookie, then became a full-time starter in 2023.

In 2025, the youth movement will continue for the Eagles defense. This offseason brought the departures of key veterans Josh Sweat, Darius Slay, Milton Williams, Brandon Graham, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson from the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning defense.

Walter Nolan is a can't-miss prospect for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he may not be around by the time the team makes their first-round pick. Unless this team gets lucky - again.
