The Philadelphia Eagles' struggles to secure a top-tier safety in the NFL Draft have been glaring, particularly since the days of Brian Dawkins. With their last successful selection being Nate Allen in 2010, the Eagles have turned to free agency and undrafted signings to address the position. Reed Blankenship, an undrafted free agent in 2022, has emerged as a starter, but the need for elite talent remains. As the draft approaches, eyes are turning to Georgia's Malaki Starks, who could change the narrative if the Eagles decide to select him at pick 32.

With several Georgia alumni already on the roster, including defensive standouts like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, Starks offers the versatility the Eagles crave. He could play safety or nickel, providing options for the coaching staff as they navigate the offseason. The potential to trade up for Starks adds another layer of intrigue to the draft strategy, especially considering the team's needs following the departure of C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
