The Eagles depth chart after mandatory minicamp

Heading into the summer, the Philadelphia Eagles have to like where they stand amongst the contenders in the NFC.

Are the Eagles on the level of the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks? Not exactly, but that's why the games are played. The Eagle shave to like where their roster stands, even if they can make some improvements.

The Eagles did add Michael Jordan and AJ Epenesa at the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, so they are far from done adding to their roster. There likely will be other changes coming during training camp, as Howie Roseman is always looking to add to his roster.

How does the current roster stand? Where can the Eagles improve prior to Week 1?

This depth chart is far from a finished product, but here's where things stand at the conclusion of mandatory minicamp. This even projects where Jordan and Epenesa will be once they get the pads on.

Quarterback

First Team	Second Team	Third Team	Fourth Team
Jalen Hurts	Andy Dalton	Tanner McKee	Cole Payton

Dalton has been getting the majority of the second team reps in minicamp, so he's the QB2 for now. Until McKee gets traded, the QB2 should be his. Actions speak louder than words.

Running back

First Team	Second Team	Third Team	Fourth Team
Saquon Barkley	Tank Bigsby	Will Shipley	Dameon Pierce	Elijah Mitchell

This position is mostly chalk, as Shipley has the edge over Pierce and Mitchell. Shipley had a good minicamp and caught a lot of passes, so he is the front runner for the RB3 job.

Wide receiver

First Team	Second Team	Third Team	Fourth Team
DeVonta Smith	Hollywood Brown	Johnny Wilson	Samori Toure
Dontayvion Wicks	Darius Cooper	Elijah Moore	Quez Watkins
Makai Lemon	Britain Covey	Danny Gray

Even with Lemon missing minicamp (hamstring), he'll be competing with Wicks for the WR2 job. Brown is also in the mix, as he was impressive in minicamp. Moore and Wilson also got first team reps with Smith and Lemon out.

Smith is WR1 with Wicks at WR2 for now. Lemon should open camp as the WR3.

Tight end

First Team	Second Team	Third Team	Fourth Team
Dallas Goedert	Johnny Mundt	Eli Stowers	Grant Calcaterra
	Stone Smartt	E.J. Jenkins	Dae'Quan Wright

Mundt is ahead of Stowers on the depth chart this summer, as Stowers has gotten off to a slow start in OTAs. There's little reason for concern at this point, but Mundt is a more complete player than Stowers at this stage in the game.

The Eagles could keep four tight ends, so that's something to watch this summer.

Offensive line

	First Team	Second Team	Third Team
LT	Jordan Mailata	Markel Bell	Hollin Pierce
LG	Landon Dickerson	Michael Jordan	Myles Hinton	Willie Lampkin
C	Cam Jurgens	Drew Kendall	Jake Majors
RG	Tyler Steen	Micah Morris	Jaeden Roberts
RT	Landon Dickerson	Fred Johnson	John Okukwu	Cameron Williams

The offensive line depth chart is always in flux, especially in the two days of minicamp. With Jordan aboard, let's assume he's going to be the No. 3 guard -- which shuffles everything around.

Kendall is the backup center and Johnson is the No. 3 tackle (and the swing tackle). Bell has moved around from left tackle to right tackle, but Johnson would be the first one called upon if Mailata of Lane Johnson go down.

Morris has been at right guard, but so has Hinton -- who's moving around from guard and tackle. This group continues to be in flux, even when training camp arrives.

Pass rusher

First Team	Second Team	Third Team
Jalyx Hunt	Nolan Smith	AJ Epenesa	Keyshawn James-Newby	Jose Ramirez
Jonathan Greenard	Arnold Ebiketie	Joe Tyron-Shoyinka	Joshua Weru

Hunt has the edge over Smith for the starting job opposite Greenard, who didn't participate in team drills as he's still rehabbing his shoulder injury. With Epenesa in the fold, he takes the No. 5 pass rusher spot over Tyron-Shoyinka-- who was a no show in minicamp. James-Newby can't be counted out of the mix either.

Defensive tackle

First Team	Second Team	Third Team
Jalen Carter	Moro Ojomo	Ty Robinson	Uar Bernard	Zion Wilson
Jordan Davis	Byron Young	Gabe Hall	Tae'Quon Graham

The top three defensive tackle positions are chalk, as this is the deepest position on the roster. Young has the edge for the No. 4 spot over Robinson, who has struggled in minicamp.

Don't forget there is a roster spot reserved for Bernard, but six defensive tackles may make the roster.

Off-ball linebacker

First Team	Second Team	Third Team
Zack Baun	Jeremiah Trotter Jr.	Chance Campbell
Jihaad Campbell	Smael Mondon	Deontae Lawson

This may be the easiest position to project on the roster, but Trotter Jr. could compete for a starting spot here (Campbell is projected to start once his shoulder is good to go). This is a good problem to have for the Eagles.

Cornerback

	First Team	Second Team	Third Team
CB	Quinyon Mitchell	Kelee Ringo	Jakorian Bennett	Tariq Castro-Fields
CB	Tariq Woolen	Jonathan Jones	Mac McWilliams	Ambry Thomas
Slot	Cooper DeJean	Jonathan Jones	Michael Carter	Kapena Gushiken

Notice how Jones is listed twice here. The Eagles had Jones as the top backup cornerback on the outside and in the slot, as they like his versatility. Ringo is an excellent special teams player, and still occupies a second team spot on the depth chart.

Carter and Gushiken can both play safety, so something to monitor this summer.

Safety

First Team	Second Team	Third Team
Andrew Mukuba	J.T. Gray	Andre Sam	Brandon Johnson
Marcus Epps	Michael Carter	Cole Wisniewski	Maximus Pulley

Epps is the front runner to start at safety, but the Eagles could also had here at some point this summer. Carter is the front runner to be the No. 3 safety, while Gray is a good special teams player.

Wisniewski didn't participate in the team portion of practice with an injury, but Pulley showed some flashes. This position is wide open for roster spots.

Special teams

Position	Player
K	Jake Elliott
P	Braden Mann
LS	Rocco Underwood
KR	Will Shipley
PR	Britain Covey

Covey has a roster spot if he holds onto the punt returner job. The Eagles also have Cooper DeJean back there, but they likely don't want to resort to that.

Rocco Underwood is still the lone long snapper on this roster. No competition for Elliott is expected either.
