The Philadelphia Eagles shocked a lot of people when they finished 10-6 despite going through three starting quarterbacks. After finally settling on Nick Foles, the Eagles found some nice momentum and rode it into the playoffs with an NFC East division title in year one of the Chip Kelly era.
There are some big changes coming for the Eagles, the biggest of which being the loss of DeSean Jackson, who was cut and almost immediately signed by the Washington Redskins.
With Jackson gone, the Eagles will rely heavily on Foles and LeSean McCoy, their best offensive weapon to shoulder the load. With an improved defense, the Eagles could be a really intriguing team in the NFC in 2014.

Eagles Top Needs
1. Safety
The Eagles signed Malcolm Jenkins but still need to upgrade the safety position. Their pass defense was terrible a year ago.
2. Cornerback
Some free agent additions at corner haven’t panned out for Philly. They need to strike gold on a CB prospect in the draft and this year there are some really good ones.
3. Wide Receiver
With their top playmaker at WR gone to their division rivals, the Eagles now need to find someone on the outside that can make an impact.
4. Rush Linebacker
5. Defensive Line
6. Inside Linebacker
