Eagles depth chart following the 2025 NFL Draft: Offense edition

With free company and the NFL Draft behind us, now’s a superb time to try how the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles depth chart is shaping up. We’ll begin as we speak with the offense earlier than subsequent shifting on to protection and particular groups. After that, we’ll submit our first 53-man roster projection forward of the upcoming season. (For enjoyable, check out how the roster seems to be in comparison with final yr 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 must depend on his arm a bit greater than they did in 2024. The Kenny Pickett commerce elevated McKee to QB2. From the whole lot we’ve seen in a small pattern measurement, he has the makings of a high 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 most likely 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 observe up the very best working again season in NFL historical past? He’ll most likely 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 alternative 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 severe neck damage. Dillon might be a pleasant big-bodied rotational again. If Dillon can’t justify a roster spot, maybe Nichols might 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 might be trying to show they belong within the NFL. Powell appears particularly intriguing as a long-term mission:

FULLBACK

1 – Ben VanSumeren

BVS is now 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 mentioned 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 mentioned that, so he very properly might have been pandering. In any case, BVS confirmed good potential as a lead blocker final season and that was along with his time divided on a number of positions. Now he’ll actually have the ability to 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 them as soon as once more. The query is: what do the Eagles have behind their prime 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 alternative. Ainias Smith had some tough moments as a rookie final offseason earlier than finally 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 yr’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 choose within the 2022 NFL Draft, can do in his first offseason with the Eagles. Cooks might be this yr’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 skill. Cooper is preventing an uphill battle as an undrafted large 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 minimize to remain in Philly). That’s excellent news because the Eagles lacked an encouraging alternative 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 sector. Calcaterra has pass-catching skill however his blocking struggles forestall 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 skill. Granson didn’t stay 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 pictures 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 alternative as an skilled and versatile swing deal with. The Eagles aren’t shy to maintain numerous offensive linemen however they may realistically solely have the ability to hold one in every of Hinton or Williams. Hinton appears extra able to play whereas Williams might be extra of a long-term mission. 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 deal with to protect final yr. 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 group trusts their worldwide developmental mission to really play within the preseason this yr, 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 appropriate guard spot is far 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 have the ability to be salvaged by the grace of Jeff Stoutland. If neither Steen nor Inexperienced seize the job, possibly Pryor emerges as a fallback choice. In any other case, Pryor initiatives as a backup guard/deal with. 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 possibility to be Jurgens’ prime backup and it’ll be attention-grabbing to see if he will get within the guard combine in any respect.
