Eagles depth chart following the 2025 NFL Draft: Offense edition

With free company and the NFL Draft behind us, now’s an excellent time to try how the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles depth chart is shaping up. We’ll begin at the moment with the offense earlier than subsequent shifting on to protection and particular groups. After that, we’ll publish our first 53-man roster projection forward of the upcoming season. (For enjoyable, check out how the roster appears in comparison with final 12 months right now.)

QUARTERBACK

1 – Jalen Hurts

2 – Tanner McKee

3 – Dorian Thompson-Robinson

4 – Kyle McCord

Hurts is the reigning Tremendous Bowl MVP. The Eagles would possibly have to depend on his arm a bit greater than they did in 2024. The Kenny Pickett commerce elevated McKee to QB2. From every little thing we’ve seen in a small pattern measurement, he has the makings of a top quality backup … and maybe extra? DTR and McCord are set to battle it out for the emergency third quarterback position. As lengthy he doesn’t completely stink (like Clayton Thorson as soon as did), McCord will in all probability win the job.

RUNNING BACK

1 – Saquon Barkley

2 – Will Shipley

3 – AJ Dillon

4 – Lew Nichols

5 – Montrell Johnson Jr.

6 – ShunDerrick Powell

How will Barkley comply with up the most effective working again season in NFL historical past? He’ll in all probability nonetheless be fairly good … however simply how good is the query. And we’ll see if he’s in a position to maintain up durability-wise after such a large workload in 2024. The Eagles appear excessive on Shipley as a direct substitute for Kenny Gainwell, who was additionally a training workers favourite. Dillon hasn’t performed in an everyday season recreation since December 2023. He must show he can nonetheless play coming off a critical neck damage. Dillon might be a pleasant big-bodied rotational again. If Dillon can’t justify a roster spot, maybe Nichols may step up and be RB3. If not, he’s a contender to be on the follow squad. Undrafted rookie free brokers Johnson Jr. and Powell will probably be seeking to show they belong within the NFL. Powell appears particularly intriguing as a long-term undertaking:

FULLBACK

1 – Ben VanSumeren

BVS is not listed at linebacker on the Eagles’ roster. It’s simply fullback now. And his jersey quantity change from No. 57 to No. 43 confirms as a lot. Talking on SportsRadio 94WIP this week, Jeffrey Lurie stated the Eagles are “going to quietly attempt to resurrect the fullback place.” After all, he was talking to former Eagles fullback Jon Ritchie when he stated that, so he very nicely may have been pandering. In any case, BVS confirmed good potential as a lead blocker final season and that was together with his time divided on a number of positions. Now he’ll actually be capable of lock in on taking part in fullback. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see if the Eagles belief him to see some offensive touches along with blocking.

WIDE RECEIVER

1 – A.J. Brown

2 – DeVonta Smith

3 – Jahan Dotson

4 – Johnny Wilson

5 – Avery Williams

6 – Ainias Smith

7 – Terrace Marshall

8 – Danny Grey

9 – Elijah Cooks

10 – Taylor Morin

11 – Darius Cooper

12 – Giles Jackson

A.J. and DeVonta are superior gamers of their primes, that a lot we all know. The passing offense will primarily function by means of them as soon as once more. The query is: what do the Eagles have behind their high duo? This offseason provides Dotson an opportunity to earn Hurts’ belief as a WR3 goal. Wilson’s measurement makes him an intriguing position participant; we’ll see if he develops in any respect from 12 months 1 to 12 months 2. Williams is formally listed as a “return specialist” on the Eagles’ roster however I’m looping him in right here as a possible Britain Covey substitute. Ainias Smith had some tough moments as a rookie final offseason earlier than in the end doing sufficient to make the roster. He’s more healthy now than he was then so we’ll see if he can contend for the Covey position. Marshall might be this 12 months’s model of Parris Campbell as a fringe roster/follow squad participant who solely performs if damage points come up. Intrigued to see what Grey, a third-round decide within the 2022 NFL Draft, can do in his first offseason with the Eagles. Cooks might be this 12 months’s Joe Ngata as a prototypical X receiver who makes some noise within the offseason earlier than failing to make the roster. Morin and Jackson each have punt returning means. Cooper is preventing an uphill battle as an undrafted extensive receiver from Division I FCS Tarleton State.

TIGHT END

1 – Dallas Goedert

2 – Grant Calcaterra

3 – Harrison Bryant

4 – Kylen Granson

5 – E.J. Jenkins

6 – Nick Muse

7 – Cameron Latu

Goedert and the Eagles are reportedly anticipated to agree on a reworked contract (learn: Goedert took a pay lower to remain in Philly). That’s excellent news because the Eagles lacked an encouraging substitute plan if he was going to be traded. Whereas Goedert has struggled to remain wholesome, he’s an excellent tight finish when he’s on the sphere. Calcaterra has pass-catching means however his blocking struggles stop him from being a full-time starter. Watching Bryant jogged my memory of watching Zach Ertz. The previous is clearly a lesser participant than the latter however Bryant has some chain-moving means. Granson didn’t dwell as much as his perceived potential whereas taking part in for the Indianapolis Colts however the Eagles will see if he can problem for TE2 or TE3. Jenkins was a fringe roster participant for the Eagles final season. Muse and Latu are lengthy photographs coming into their first offseason with the Eagles.

OFFENSIVE TACKLE

1 – Lane Johnson

2 – Jordan Mailata

3 – Kendall Lamm

4 – Myles Hinton

5 – Cameron Williams

6 – Hollin Pierce

X – Laekin Vakalahi (exempt)

The Eagles have elite tackles; Johnson and Mailata are two of the easiest gamers at their place within the NFL. Lamm initiatives to be a direct Fred Johnson substitute as an skilled and versatile swing sort out. The Eagles aren’t shy to maintain a lot of offensive linemen however they could realistically solely be capable of maintain one in all Hinton or Williams. Hinton appears extra able to play whereas Williams might be extra of a long-term undertaking. Talking of, Pierce is a large man with intriguing developmental potential. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see if the Eagles transfer any of the rookies to protect within the wake of Mekhi Becton’s profitable transition from sort out to protect final 12 months. Vakalahi is in his second offseason with the Eagles after beforehand by no means taking part in soccer previous to 2024. We’ll see if the crew trusts their worldwide developmental undertaking to really play within the preseason this 12 months, not like final summer time.

OFFENSIVE GUARD

1 – Landon Dickerson

2 – Tyler Steen

3 – Kenyon Inexperienced

4 – Matt Pryor

5 – Darian Kinnard

6 – Trevor Keegan

Dickerson, a three-time Professional Bowler in 4 seasons performed, is well-established at left guard. The best guard spot is way much less safe. Steen will attempt to win the job after failing to assert it in 2023 and 2024. He’ll face competitors from Inexperienced, who actually struggled with the Houston Texans however would possibly be capable of be salvaged by means of the grace of Jeff Stoutland. If neither Steen nor Inexperienced seize the job, possibly Pryor emerges as a fallback possibility. In any other case, Pryor initiatives as a backup guard/sort out. Pryor and Kinnard might be competing for a similar position. Keegan barely performed as a rookie and might want to discover a technique to show he belongs on the roster.

CENTER

1 – Cam Jurgens

2 – Brett Toth

3 – Drew Kendall

Jurgens is now one of many highest-paid facilities within the NFL. Stoutland appears to like Toth, who’s repped at each offensive line place throughout his Eagles tenure. The Eagles’ entrance workplace doesn’t appear as eager as having him on the roster. Kendall has a chance to be Jurgens’ high backup and it’ll be attention-grabbing to see if he will get within the guard combine in any respect.
