Philadelphia Eagles depth chart: What does the offense look like after the NFL Draft?

The Philadelphia Eagles were among the biggest winners of the 2023 NFL Draft, but how does their depth chart look ahead of what promises to be an exciting Summer?

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts, Marcus Mariota, Ian Book, Tanner McKee

The Eagles added a new name to their QB room in the way of Tanner McKee. He’s much more of a stereotypical pocket passer than Hurts & Mariota, but this at least gives the Eagles some variety to work with.

In two seasons as Stanford’s starting quarterback, McKee totaled over 5,000 yards passing with 28 touchdowns and 15 picks. There were some in the draft process that felt McKee’s measurables were worth the signal-caller going as high as the second round. Now surrounded by strong leaders, it will be interesting to see how his development goes in Philadelphia.

Running back

Kenny Gainwell, D’Andre Swift, Rashaad Penny,, Boston Scott, Trey Sermon

The Eagles said goodbye to Miles Sanders this offseason and brought in Rashaad Penny as his replacement. Many thought the work was done, but little did we know that Howie Roseman had another ace up his sleeve.

The esteemed Eagles GM traded for Lions RB D’Andre Swift, giving up a few peanuts in reality and securing the explosive traits of yet another former Georgia stud.

There was no real need to immediately improve the backfield, but Swift fits this offense perfectly and hardly cost anything. He’ll now join a daunting committee effort, likely as a 1-B to Kenny Gainwell, although Training Camp is bound to throw up a few surprises with so much talent in the backfield.

Offensive line

Center: Jason Kelce, Brett Toth, Cameron Tom
Guard: Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen, Sua Opeta, Tyree Robinson, Josh Sills
Tackle: Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Jack Driscoll, Jarrid Williams, Julian Good-Jones, Roderick Johnson

The Eagles threw a slight curveball this offseason when bringing back Jason Kelce for another rodeo. It’s pushed Cam Jurgens into the vacant starting RG role and that’s no bad thing, but depth at guard was light beyond Sua Opeta. That was until the NFL Draft at least.

Howie Roseman added Tyler Steen to the offensive line room. Much like Jack Driscoll, he’s a tackle that seems primed to play guard and will offer the Eagles a versatile skillset to mold.

Jeff Stoutland is quite the wizard as we know and it will be fun to see what he can do with another powerful prospect.

Tight End

Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, Tyree Jackson

This was the one position that surprisingly went unattended during the NFL Draft. Many expected the Eagles to draft a tight end within the opening few rounds, and although they have reportedly come to terms with Brady Russell, a UDFA out of Colorado, it’s just another developmental name in what is already a room full of them.

A lot can change between now and week 1, so don’t be surprised to see a Richard Rodgers-esque name join the stable.

Wide receiver

A.J Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus, Greg Ward, Britain Covey, Devon Allen, Tyrie Cleveland

Again, no new additions here, although the Eagles do have a stacked WR group after the arrival of Olamide Zaccheaus from the Atlanta Falcons. It wouldn’t surprise me to perhaps see a name like Grant Calcaterra (TE) move to the slot in a bid to replace Zach Pascal as a bigger body to complement the zippy duo of Watkins and Zaccheaus. We’ve seen the Eagles toy with that idea before and with no additions to either spot, it is a possibility we see some cross-training.
