The 2017 Eagles were outstanding on fourth down on defense, too

Back in February, we took a look at all 29 of Pederson's offensive "go for it" fourth down calls, with analysis. On the season, the Eagles were 20 of 29 (69 percent, which is nice) on those fourth down calls. What I didn't notice until today was how good the Eagles' defense was when teams went for it on fourth down against them. On the season, including the players, opposing offenses converted just 6 of 24 fourth down attempts, or a measly 25 percent. Here we'll look back at all 24 of them, many of which were huge stands.

The strength of the 2019 NFL Draft aligns with the Eagles' biggest upcoming need

The 2019 NFL Draft is a long way away, but during this slow time of the offseason, it's perhaps worth taking a look down the road at the Philadelphia Eagles' biggest draft need next year, which in my view is the defensive line.
