We are going to try to keep this article short. If you want to see everything we have to say about Quinyon Mitchell you can read it in his profile. Essentially we believe that Toledo’s scheme did not allow Mitchell to flourish. In 4 years, Mitchell accumulated 6 INTs. 5 INTs in 2022 and 1 in 2023. 4 of his 5 2022 INTs came in one game, and we can promise you they were four of the easiest INTs you could imagine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Dc3JyW-uE It was a 1-4 Northern Illinois team and we have no idea how that QB was starting for a D1 Program. He looked awful. 

For the most part, Mitchell and Toledo played a lot of zone coverage where he tried to play like a ball hawk and barely produced as one. Not to mention he was a pretty low effort blitzer and provided a whopping 0.0% of anything in run support. Mitchell’s Toledo tape was a prime example of why we hate scouting CBs. 

The saving grace for Mitchell in our eyes was the week he had at the Senior Bowl where he flashed the ability to play pretty much every receiver there as a press man-to-man CB. We thought that a man-heavy team could help Mitchell live up to this image of a prospect the “analysts” were painting him as, but it sounds like Fangio is a pretty zone-heavy scheme, which we have concerns about given his Toledo tape. 

Not to mention the Eagles don’t have a history of developing CBs. 

• Sidney Jones’s career just never really panned out
• Rasul Douglas didn’t break out until he left Philly
• Eric Rowe was half decent when he left Philly
• Jalen Mills was okay… we guess
• Avonte Maddox has been a decent slot, but outside of that nothing really

If we are wrong about Quinyon we will own up to it, but this just feels like an unideal landing spot for a prospect who could have a very bright future given the athleticism and tools he has.
