The Eagles have a lot of individual talent and one of the top overall rosters in the NFL, making this one of the easier evaluation periods with the roster deadline a little more than 24 hours away.
Outside of the safety position, there aren’t many holes, with most of the intense roster battles involving backup spots on both sides of the ball.
Philadelphia’s 22 projected starters are set at every position except safety (Epps), and of the 53 roster spots, we’ve predicted 41 guys are locks to make the roster.
1
QB Jalen Hurts
2
QB Gardner Minshew
Minshew gives the Eagles one of the more talented and battle-tested backup quarterbacks in the NFL.
3
RB Miles Sanders
4
RB Kenneth Gainwell
5
RB Boston Scott
A steady running back who’s become a reliable dual-threat in Philadelphia.
6
7
WR A.J. Brown
Brown is a monster and will set the tone for the Eagles’ passing game.
8
WR DeVonta Smith
9
WR Quez Watkins
10
WR Zach Pascal
Pascal easily beats out Jalen Reagor for the final locked-in spot on the roster at wide receiver.
11
TE Dallas Goedert
12
TE Jack Stoll
Philadelphia utilizes a physical rushing attack that still features two tight ends in various situations. Stoll makes the roster without question.
13
TE Grant Calcaterra
The rookie makes the list because of his history with Jalen Hurts and more natural pass-catching abilities compared to Jack Stoll.
14
LT Jordan Mailata
15
LG Landon Dickerson
16
C Jason Kelce
17
RG Isaac Seumalo
18
RT Lane Johnson
19
LT Andre Dillard
Solid left tackles are hard to find, and Dillard makes the list as the top backup at his position in the NFL.
20
C Cam Jurgens
The rookie from Nebraska is a budding star at the center position, and he can swing over to guard.
21
OL Jack Driscoll
A versatile player on the offensive line, Driscoll can excel at guard and tackle.
22
OL Sua Opeta
Opeta is a lock as the ninth lineman on the roster, and spot 10 or 11 could be a toss-up between multiple players.
23
DE Brandon Graham
24
DT Fletcher Cox
25
DT Javon Hargrave
26
DE Josh Sweat
27
DE Derek Barnett
28
DT Milton Williams
Even with the addition of Jordan Davis, Williams will still have a crucial role in Jonathan Gannon’s defense.
29
DT Jordan Davis
30
LB Haason Reddick
The Eagles’ top pass rusher from day one, Reddick, is listed as a linebacker but will undoubtedly impact the snaps for Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham, and Josh Sweat.
31
LB T.J. Edwards
32
LB Nakobe Dean
33
LB Kyzir White
34
LB Shaun Bradley
35
LB Patrick Johnson
Johnson is a talented pass rusher that Jonathan Gannon can play alongside Haason Reddick.
36
CB Darius Slay
37
CB James Bradberry
38
CB Avonte Maddox
39
CB Zech McPhearson
McPhearson is the team’s fourth cornerback while utilizing an ability to play both outside and in the slot.
40
S Marcus Epps
41
S Anthony Harris
42
K Jake Elliott
Elliott is the only kicker on the list, with punter Arryn Siposs on shaky ground, while long snapper Rick Lovato can be signed and released weekly if the Eagles so choose.
