Philadelphia Eagles Offense: Depth Chart, Analysis & Draft Needs
Rich Hribar breaks down the offensive depth chart by position for the Philadelphia Eagles, identifying areas where the team could improve in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Quarterback Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Jalen Hurts
- Tanner McKee
- Dorian Thompson-Robinson
It was another strong season for Jalen Hurts, despite hardly having his full cupboard of pass catchers for most of the season.
Under Kellen Moore, Hurts had a few things unlocked.
The Eagles used motion on 50.8% of the dropbacks with Hurts at quarterback.
That was only in the middle of the league, but the Eagles were 28th in pre-snap motion (28% of Hurts' dropbacks) in 2023.
That was significant in terms of results.
With the use of pre-snap motion, Hurts was second in the NFL in rating (116.6), completing 69.3% of his passes (10th) for 8.9 yards per pass attempt (2nd) and a 7.3% touchdown rate (5th).
He threw 13 touchdowns to 2 interceptions using motion.
Without pre-snap motion, Hurts was 17th in rating (91.0), completing 68.1% of his passes (5th) for 7.2 Y/A (19th) and only a 2.7% touchdown rate (31st).
No quarterback was pressured at a higher rate last season than Hurts (40.5% of dropbacks).
Some of that is his own doing since he had the longest time to throw in the NFL (3.06 seconds from the snap).
18.8% of his pressures were credited to him holding the ball, which was 35th in the league.
But when pressured, Hurts only completed 46.5% of his passes (20th) for 5.2 Y/A (29th).
Hurts is locked up through 2028.
Any questions surrounding Hurts entering 2025 stem from him working with another coordinator after Moore took the head coaching job in New Orleans.
Hurts will be on his sixth offensive coordinator in the NFL under Kevin Patullo.
In college, Hurts had four different play callers.
Patullo has been with the Eagles through most of the run, so hopefully he can borrow from the best of those play callers to max out Hurts.
Patullo has been the passing game coordinator in Philadelphia since 2021.
Another interesting element in the air with Hurts is the proposal to ban the “Tush Push.”
Hurts has scored 32 touchdowns off that play, 59% of his career rushing touchdowns.
He only has one scrambling touchdown on the ground over the past two seasons.
The Eagles have Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson signed for the next two seasons.
Running Back Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Saquon Barkley
- Will Shipley
- AJ Dillon
- Ty Davis-Price
- Avery Williams
- Lew Nichols
Saquon Barkley is coming off a historic season, racking up 2,283 yards on offense with 15 touchdowns.
He led the NFL in rushing attempts (345) and rushing yards (2,005) while also sitting out Week 18.
Barkley had a career-high 42% success rate as a runner.
13.4% of his runs went for 10 or more yards, the highest career rate.
He averaged 2.64 yards before contact per run, which is also the highest rate of his career.
23.8% of his runs resulted in a first down or touchdown: surprise, the highest rate of his career.
Only 17.1% of his runs failed to gain yardage, the lowest career rate.
Barkley only faced a light box on 18.6% of his runs, which was 41st in the league.
However, with teams forced to come up and defend the run while also accounting for Jalen Hurts, that is how you break long runs when you can get to the second level untouched.
Barkley had 1,072 yards rushing on his 46 gains of 10 or more yards.
He had 7 touchdown runs from outside the red zone.
No other player had more than four.
Barkley worked out a contract extension through 2028 this offseason, which has him on the books at great cost the next two seasons, holding cap hits of $6.6 million in 2025 and $9.9 million in 2026.
With Kenneth Gainwell leaving in free agency, the Eagles could add another body to this room in the draft.
They do have Will Shipley lined up to take on that vacated role.
Shipley only played 65 snaps as a rookie since he was buried on the depth chart, but he did flash on his small sample.
Playing with the reserves in Week 18, Shipley turned 14 touches into 67 yards.
When the NFC Championship reached blowout stages, Shipley rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles are taking a flyer on AJ Dillon, who missed all of the 2024 season with a cervical nerve injury.
Dillon signed a one-year deal for only $1.1 million.
Wide Receiver Depth Chart, Eagles:
- A.J. Brown
- DeVonta Smith
- Jahan Dotson
- Terrace Marshall
- Ainias Smith
- Johnny Wilson
- Elijah Cooks
- Danny Gray
This passing game still revolves around the combination of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Brown did not play in four games and had only 67 receptions (his fewest since 2021) and 97 targets (his fewest since his rookie season), but still managed to reach 1,000 yards (1,079) and 7 touchdowns.
The volume was down for Brown due to the nature of the Philadelphia offense taking their foot off the gas in the second half of games, but he was just as effective as ever.
Brown posted 3.04 yards per route run, second in the NFL behind Puka Nacua (3.57).
He averaged 5.0 targets per game in the first half of games (WR5), but with the Eagles only having a 39.6% dropback rate in the second half of games, Brown averaged only 2.5 targets per game after halftime (WR60).
This past season, we only had a small sample where the Eagles had all of Brown, Smith, and Dallas Goedert on the field.
In the regular season, all three were on the field for only 80 routes.
However, Brown led the team on those plays with 37.5% of the targets and 50.5% of the air yards.
Smith also had his counting stats impacted based on a similar layout.
He had career-low marks in targets (89) and receiving yards (833) but also missed four games.
On a per-game basis, Smith averaged more receptions (5.2) than in 2023 (5.1), and his yardage (64.1 yards per game) was on par with 2023 (66.6 yards per game).
He also scored 8 times, which was a career high.
His 2.14 yards per route was the best rate of his career.
Smith closed the season on a high note, scoring four times over his final four games and having a pair of 100-yard games over that span.
Smith played a career-high 47.5% of his snaps in the slot under Kellen Moore after rates of 10.6%, 21.5%, and 24.3% to open his career.
He had 5 of his touchdowns from the slot.
The Eagles have both Brown (through 2029) and Smith (2028) secured long term.
The Eagles inherently wanted to be an 11-personnel team under Moore.
Jahan Dotson was on the field for 75.1% of the team's dropbacks last season.
But he only caught 19 passes for 216 yards during the regular season without a touchdown.
Dotson was targeted on just 8.2% of his routes, ranking him 140th out of 145 wide receivers who ran 100 or more routes.
The Eagles can pick up Dotson's fifth-year option before May 1, but that seems as close to not happening as you can guarantee.
Philadelphia selected a pair of rookies last season in Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson.
Despite injuries to both Brown and Smith, neither player made an impact.
Wilson ran 155 routes, catching 5 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Smith ran 42 routes, catching 7 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown.
Tight End Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Dallas Goedert
- Grant Calcaterra
- Kylen Granson
- Harrison Bryant
- Nick Muse
- E.J. Jenkins
- Cameron Latu
Dallas Goedert only appeared in 10 games in 2024, averaging 4.2 receptions for 49.6 yards per game.
He only ran 80 routes all season with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on the field, drawing the same rate of targets (21.4% of team targets on 15% of his routes) as Smith.
Goedert is in the final season of his contract.
He turned 30 this past January.
The Eagles have a host of bodies behind Goedert, but none of them have much pass-catching experience.
They also do not have much contractual depth here.
Everyone here is slated to be an unrestricted free agent after the season, with the exception of the team having exclusive rights on E.J. Jenkins and Cameron Latu.
Offensive Line Depth Chart, Eagles:
LT: Jordan Mailata, Kendall Lamm, Laekin Vakalahi
LG: Landon Dickerson, Kenyon Green
C: Cam Jurgens, Brett Toth
RG: Tyler Steen, Trevor Keegan
RT: Lane Johnson, Matt Pryor, Darian Kinnard
This unit worked through a number of injuries last season.
Philadelphia did not have a lineman play in all 17 games.
They rested players in Week 18, but Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson, and Mekhi Becton missed games with injuries.
Becton leaving in free agency does create a void at right guard.
Tyler Steen played 122 snaps at left guard and 173 snaps at right guard last season, but according to Pro Football Focus, he was 81st out of 83 qualifying guards in overall grade.
Steen allowed a 6.7% pressure rate (81st) and had six penalties on his small sample.
The team did add Kenyon Green as their latest resurrection attempt up front.
Green allowed an 8% pressure rate last season on 350 pass blocking snaps, which was 88th at the position.
Outside of the right guard spot needing competition, things are in a good spot for 2025.
Landon Dickerson is signed through 2028.
Mailata is signed through 2028.
Johnson is signed through 2027.
Cam Jurgens was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the season, but the Eagles signed him to a four-year, $68 million extension just before the draft.
Moving over to center last season, Jurgens was 13th in overall grade per Pro Football Focus.
The Eagles have used a host of pre-draft visits on linemen this offseason, signaling interest in adding options here.
This draft cycle, they have visited with Josh Conerly Jr, Dylan Fairchild, Marcus Mbow, Wyatt Milum, and Jalen Travis.
Philadelphia Eagles Defense: Depth Chart, Analysis & Draft Needs
Raymond Summerlin breaks down the defensive depth chart by position for the Philadelphia Eagles, identifying areas where the team could improve in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Defensive Line Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Jalen Carter
- Jordan Davis
- Moro Ojomo
- Byron Young
- Thomas Booker
- Gabe Hall
The Eagles stifled running backs in 2024, allowing 4.1 yards per carry to the position (6th) with a 9.3% explosive run rate (9th) and 5 rushing touchdowns allowed (2nd).
As will be the case for a lot of positions on defense, the Eagles suffered a big loss along the defensive line this offseason with Milton Williams moving to the Patriots.
The rest of the main rotation is back.
Jalen Carter built on his exceptional rookie season, earning a Pro Bowl nod with 13 run stuffs and 4.5 sacks while playing 84% of the defensive snaps.
Jordan Davis has not developed into that kind of every-down player, and he was not as impactful per snap against the run in 2024.
The Eagles have an interesting decision to make on his fifth-year option.
If they decline it, he will be a free agent next spring.
Moro Ojomo was also an important part of the rotation last season, failing to record a sack but posting a solid 12.2% pressure rate.
He could have a breakout season if he gets on the field more with Williams gone.
A third-round pick by the Raiders in 2023, Byron Young did not get on the field for the Eagles last season and remains an unknown.
With Williams gone and Davis not developing into more than a rotational player, the Eagles could make a case for once again spending early draft capital on the defensive front.
EDGE Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Nolan Smith Jr.
- Jalyx Hunt
- Bryce Huff
- Azeez Ojulari
- Josh Uche
- Ochaun Mathis
- Patrick Johnson
- KJ Henry
The Eagles ranked seventh in pressure rate a season ago (36.8%) while finishing 13th with 41 sacks.
That is a good result, but two of the most impactful pass rushers from a season ago are gone with Josh Sweat (8 sacks) and Milton Williams (5 sacks) leaving in free agency.
Brandon Graham also retired, removing quality veteran depth.
A first-round pick in 2023, Nolan Smith took a step forward in year two, finishing with 6.5 sacks, but his 11.9% pressure rate ranked 49th among pass rushers with at least 250 rushes.
He did come on strong in the playoffs, though, recording 4 sacks with a 13.8% pressure rate.
The Eagles will hope he can carry that momentum into 2025.
Bryce Huff was a bust of a free agent signing from last year, getting 2.5 sacks with an 11.6% pressure rate in 12 games.
He was a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl.
A third-round pick last year, Jalyx Hunt had 1.5 sacks on limited snaps as a rookie, recording a bottom-tier 8.4% pressure rate.
Of course, that is a small sample, and there is every chance Hunt takes a step forward in his second season.
The Eagles added Azeez Ojulari and Josh Uche in free agency.
Ojulari has not played more than 11 games since his rookie season, but he did log 6 sacks on limited snaps for the Giants last year.
Uche has an 11.5-sack season and some impressive pressure rates on his resume, but he has struggled to earn snaps.
Both are also on one-year deals.
Perhaps Hunt and Huff take a step forward in their second season with the team, but that is not something the Eagles can bank on given where this team hopes to be again in 2025.
They have to add some more help on the edge.
Linebacker Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Zack Baun
- Nakobe Dean
- Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
- Dallas Gant
Linebacker is a question mark for the Eagles after Nakobe Dean suffered a serious knee injury in the playoffs that will almost certainly sideline him into the 2025 season.
The good news is Zack Baun is back following a breakout season in 2024.
Baun led the team with 17 run stuffs, recorded a tackle on 23.8% of his run defense snaps, forced five fumbles, and allowed just 5.6 yards per target in coverage.
He deservedly earned his first All Pro spot and a long-term extension in the offseason.
On the other hand, Oren Burks left in free agency, and neither Jeremiah Trotter nor Dallas Gant has a ton of experience.
A fifth-round pick last year, Trotter did get a start when the Eagles rested in the season finale, but that was the bulk of the 104 defensive snaps he played as a rookie.
With Dean's availability in question — he is also scheduled to be a free agent after the season — this is a spot the Eagles could target in the draft.
Cornerback Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Quinyon Mitchell
- Cooper DeJean
- Adoree' Jackson
- Kelee Ringo
- Eli Ricks
- Parry Nickerson
- Tariq Castro-Fields
- A.J. Woods
The Eagles shut down opposing passing games last season, allowing just 6.0 yards per attempt (1st), an 82.5 passer rating (3rd), and a 6% big play rate (1st).
They were even better later in the season, finishing first in defensive EPA per pass from Week 6 through the end of the season.
Philly did lose some important pieces of that secondary in free agency with Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, and Avonte Maddox all set to play for new teams in 2025.
More importantly, though, rookie sensations Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean are back for year two.
Mitchell was an immediate starter as a rookie, playing 955 snaps and allowing just 6.3 yards per target in his first season.
He finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.
DeJean took longer to earn playing time, but that Week 6 split above is based on DeJean getting into the lineup and absolutely shutting down opposing slot receivers.
He allowed just 5.5 yards per target with an 80.1 quarterback rating against.
DeJean finished fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.
The spot behind those two is where the questions start.
The Eagles have 2023 fourth-round pick Kelee Ringo on the roster, and they added veteran Adoree' Jackson in free agency.
There is not a big enough sample to make any sweeping declarations about Ringo, but it is not a positive that he has failed to force his way onto the field in two seasons.
Jackson failed to earn consistent playing time with the Giants last season, but he does have high-quality play on his resume.
The Eagles can get by with this group, especially if Ringo steps up or Jackson refinds some form, but adding here also makes sense despite the two massive hits from last year's draft.
Safety Depth Chart, Eagles:
- Reed Blankenship
- Sydney Brown
- Tristin McCollum
- Lewis Cine
- Andre' Sam
Continuing the theme of offseason losses, the Eagles sent C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Texans in a trade, opening up a big hole at safety.
The constant here is Reed Blankenship, who has established himself as at worst a solid option.
He allowed a 72.5 passer rating in coverage in 2024 while grabbing 4 interceptions.
2023 third-round pick Sydney Brown should slot in as the starter opposite Blankenship.
He missed the start of the last season while still rehabbing an ACL tear from 2023, and he ended up playing just 79 snaps on defense.
Brown could certainly make that spot his, but he is a projection.
Tristin McCollum actually played the third most snaps in this unit last season, but he did not stand out.
A first-round crashout with the Vikings, Lewis Cine spent most of last year on Buffalo's practice squad before signing with the Eagles late in the season.
This looks like a position the Eagles could target early in the draft.
