Could the Eagles double-dip at the safety position early in NFL Draft?

The Eagles have several needs in this weekend’s NFL, but none bigger than addressing the lack of dynamic playmakers at the safety position.

The Eagles re-signed Anthony Harris this offseason but still have a pretty clear need at the safety position.

Rodney McLeod moved on to the Colts and Philadelphia has been in the mix for all-world safety, Tyrann Mathieu.

Even after the Eagles’ trade with the Saints, they still have two first-round picks and 10 total, allowing for numerous opportunities to add versatility at a position that has several dynamic prospects.

Philadelphia could even look to add multiple safeties in the draft, with several prospects carrying the hybrid role, that allows for players like Dax Hill, Jalen Pitre, or Kyle Hamilton to play at all three levels.
