I have absolutely NO idea. I don't even know if they are done yet. There have been "reports" that he will use Bradford to move up to get Mariotta. I saw a report on Pro Football Talk that they may trade Brandon Boykin to Miami.
On April 3rd, I still don't know yet whether I can yell "Go DeMarco Go". Ask me that question in August.
They have a HUGE hole at wide receiver.
I have NO idea if they improved their defense at all. Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher were SO bad at CB but I have NO idea if the guys that they signed will be any better.
Kiko Alonso?
Their special teams were pretty good last year and there shouldn't be a drop off there.
IF the defense is better, than I guess the team will be better - but who knows if the defense will be better.
Is Bradford a fit for this offense? I don't know.
Except for MAYBE Josh Huff, they don't have any speed at the wide receiver position OR a lot of experience.

Until the Eagles get a legitimate NFL qb I refuse to feel threatened. More scared of the Giants tbh
