OTA's are officially in the books and this Philadelphia Eagles roster looks a lot different to how it did at the end of last season. It's easy to forget just how much has changed, so here's a look at the current depth chart as the calm before the Training Camp storm begins.
Quarterback
Jalen HurtsGardner MinshewReid SinnettCarson Strong
No surprises here. Jalen Hurts is at the top of the Eagles QB pecking order, but it will be interesting to see how Carson Strong stacks up against Gardner Minshew in particular. The Eagles may look to move Minshew if a market for backup QB's opens up and Strong proves he's closer to being able to take on that role than expected.
Running back
Miles SandersKenny GainwellBoston ScottJason HuntleyKennedy Brooks
The Eagles really have a lack of depth at running back in the grand scheme of things. A three-man stable may work well to begin with, but Jason Huntley has been unable to break through his ceiling since signing with the team as a UDFA in 2020, and Kennedy Brooks is an unknown quantity.
Tight End
Dallas GoedertTyree JacksonJack StollRichard RodgersNoah TogiaiGrant Calcaterra
That's a lot of bulk at tight end. Goedert remains top dog, but there's a back-catalog of blocking-TE's working in behind him and Jackson.
Wide receiver
WR1: DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, John Hightower, Josh HammondWR2: A.J Brown, Jalen Reagor, Devon Allen, Keric WheatfallWR3: Zach Pascal, Greg Ward, Britain Covey, Deon Cain
The Eagles go into camp carrying 12 wide receivers, presumably 4 at each spot. I don't know how that's going to look in terms of actual positioning, but if we assume Quez stays outside, he'll likely be the first wideout off the bench. Pascal should have the starting reins in the slot for now, but this is a really dynamic picture and one of the more exciting to watch be painted by Nick Sirianni.
Offensive tackle
Left: Jordan Mailata, Andre Dillard, Brett TothRight: Lane Johnson, Jack Driscoll, Le'Raven Clark, Jarrid Williams
There's definitely a lot to watch here. Andre Dillard is a fringe starter but can't really play RT, and there's a big drop in talent between him and Toth at the left (for now). Le'Raven Clark's versatility could be handy if the team do trade Dillard.
Linebacker
MIKE: T.J Edwards, Nakobe Dean, Shaun BradleyWILL: Kyzir White, Davion Taylor, Christian Elliss, JaCoby StevensSAM: Haason Reddick, Patrick Johnson, Kyron Johnson, Ali Fayad
It's crazy how much has changed at linebacker over the past 12 months. It's still a top-heavy unit, but the top of the group is just a lot more dangerous than it was last year.
Cornerback
CB1: Darius Slay, Tay Gowan, Jimmy Moreland, Mario Goodrich, Mac McCainCB2: James Bradberry, Kary Vincent, Josh Jobe, Josh BlackwellNickel: Avonte Maddox, Zech McPhearson, Josiah Scott, Craig James
The James Bradberry signing has all but put a glass ceiling on the developmental names signed this offseason, which does kind of suck. Whether it's Mario Goodrich or Tay Gowan, there were a plethora of young names who could've fought for that spot.
Kicker
Jake Elliott
Elliot's impressive 2021 rebound will sit well with many and his spot as the Eagles kicker will go unchallenged as a result.
