Quarterback:
QB1: Carson WentzQB2: Jalen HurtsQB3: Nate Sudfeld
There isn't a position on the roster as easy to read as quarterback when it comes to the current depth chart. Wentz is still the face of the franchise with Hurts a very clear QB2 with Sudfeld trailing in the distance doing all he can to cling onto the roster. There may well be a fourth QB added to the mix after rookie minicamp (if it happens), but the position appears to be crystal clear as of right now.
Running back
RB1: Miles SandersRB2: Boston ScottRB3: Corey ClementRB4: Michael Warren/Elijah HolyfieldRB5: Adrian Killins
There's definitely an interesting picture from RB3 downwards. The Eagles realistically need that 'thumper' between the tackles for short-yardage situations and the pairing of Warren and Holyfield should be juking that out, while Adrian Killins tries to become the next 'Boston Scott'. Clement's role as a change-of-pace back should resume in 2020 barring an offseason breakout.
Offensive line
RT: Lane Johnson, Julian Good Jones, Casey TuckerRG: Brandon Brooks, Nate Herbig, C: Jason Kelce, Jack Driscoll, Keegan Render, Luke JurigaLG: Isaac Seumalo, Matt Pryor, Sua OpetaLT: Andre Dillard, Prince Tega Wanagho, Jordan Mailata
I've tried to sort the offensive line into positional depth, which is tricky in itself due to how much versatility runs through the veins of the group. Jordan Mailata has spent most of his time at LT but with Prince Tega Wanagho in the frame, he may be on the outside looking in.
Jack Driscoll should leapfrog Keegan Render as a backup center, while Pryor's versatility make him the primary backup for both LG/RG.
Tight End
TE1: Zach ErtzTE2: Dallas GoedertTE3: Joshua PerkinsTE4: Alex EllisTE5: Noah Togiai
As of right now, Perkins should still be the TE3 after another year of sporadic use with flashes of receiving ability, including his first ever NFL touchdown. Alex Ellis and Noah Togiai may challenge him for that spot moving forward however.
Wide receiver
WR1 (x) J.J Arcega-WhitesideWR2 (z) Jalen ReagorWR3 (y) Marquise GoodwinWR4 (x) John HightowerWR5 (y) Greg Ward Jr.WR6 (z) DeSean JacksonWR7 (z) Quez WatkinsWR8 (x) Alshon Jeffery****WR9 (y) Robert DavisWR10 (x) Deontay BurnettWR11 (z) Shelton GibsonWR12 (x) Marcus GreenWR13 (y) Khalil TateWR14 (x) Bailey Manasseh
This gets interesting. WR1/2/3 shouldn't be perceived as who has the most targets/receptions, especially on this team. I've sorted each spot into the X/Y/Z positions to try and make the picture a little clearer.
Jeffery appears so far down due to the likelihood of missing such a substantial portion of the 2020 season.
Jalen Reagor should become the starting Z receiver in his rookie yearm which is why DeSean Jackson is technically WR6, even though he's the second Z receiver on the list.
John Hightower has the frame to move outside and if Marquise Goodwin is used in the slot to begin with, he'll likely be a versatile piece who can move around and provide the offense with different sparks of life.
Anything beneath Alshon Jeffery should be regarded as a practice squad battle royale, with every receiver bringing marginalized skill sets or a significant 'project' label.
Defensive tackle
DT1: Fletcher CoxDT2: Javon HargraveDT3: Malik JacksonDT4: Hassan RidgewayDT5: Anthony RushDT6: Bruce HectorDT7: Albert HugginsDT8: Raequan Williams
Aside from quarterback, this is by far the clearest position to read on the entire roster. There's set to be another free-for-all here from Anthony Rush down to Raequan Williams. The Eagles may keep a fifth DT on the roster after such a significant lack of depth in recent years, so it's all to play for.
Defensive end
RDE1: Derek BarnettLDE1: Brandon GrahamRDE2: Casey Toohill/Genard AveryLDE2: Josh SweatLDE3: Shareef MillerRDE3: Daeshon HallLDE4: Joe OstmanRDE4: Matt Leo
Toohill and Avery may not be EDGE2 on the final depth chart, but they both have an identical skillset and a niche role as stand-up rushers, which tells me they may be part of a more significant plan.
Outside of that, Joe Ostman will be a name to watch as his return from an ACL is going to be filled with challenges and a windy road to gain the momentum lost to players like Daeshon Hall.
Linebacker
MIKE: T.J Edwards, Shaun Bradley, Dante OlsonSAM: Nate Gerry, Alex Singleton, Jatavis BrownWILL: Davion Taylor, Duke Riley
T.J Edwards should easily be regarded as the starting middle linebacker, while Davion Taylor will essentially take on KGH's vacated role. Jatavis Brown worries me as an open-field tackler and I feel like Alex Singleton's special teams prowess lends itself to some slight advantages early on in this race.
Cornerback
CB1: Darius Slay, Rasul Douglas, Grayland Arnold, Tremon SmithCB2 Avonte Maddox, Sidney Jones, Trevor Williams, Michael JacquetCB3: Nickell Robey-Coleman, Cre'Von LeBlanc, Prince Smith
This is probably the most unpredictable position on the entire team. Trevor Williams should easily be in contention to win the CB2 role, but I feel Rasul Douglas is going to be better off working behind Slay as a backup and mentoring a similarly rangy prospect in Grayland Arnold, who can work at Safety too,
NRC may have some slight leverage over LeBlanc in term of experience, but expect a training camp battle filled with fireworks.
Safety
FS: Rodney McLeod, Marcus Epps, Rudy FordSS: Will Parks, Jalen Mills, K'Von Wallace, Elijah Riley
Again, this should be fairly simple to read. Parks, Mills, and Wallace will fill the role left by Malcolm Jenkins, while Epps and Ford will compete behind McLeod for a backup FS role, which will likely form of prominent special teams snaps.
