Eagles’ projected defensive depth chart following the 2022 NFL Draft

Philadelphia Eagles’ projected defensive depth chart following the 2022 NFL Draft

The Eagles entered the 2022 NFL offseason looking to retool a middle-of-the-pack defense that lacked sacks, versatility at linebacker, and a game-wrecking run-stopper along the defensive line.

A unit that was ridiculed weekly last season, Jonathan Gannon’s defense has been infused with some difference-making players at several key positions.

Gannon’s updated scheme now includes Haason Reddick as a bonafide pass rusher and Kyzir White as an off-ball, sideline-to-sideline playmaker, along with noted winners Jordan Davis (first round) and linebacker Nakobe Dean (third round).

With the defense having a new and improved looked, here’s an early projection of the defensive depth chart following the draft.

Eagles announce 2 roster moves

Philadelphia Eagles place linebacker Davion Taylor on injured reserve meaning he’ll miss the next 3 games.

The Eagles announced two roster moves on Wednesday, signing linebacker Christian Elliss to the practice squad and placing linebacker Davion Taylor on Reserve/Injured.

Over the past 3 weeks, Taylor logged 39 tackles, one for loss, and two forced fumbles. Taylor was replaced in the lineup on Sunday by Alex Singleton, who was Philadelphia’s leading tackler in 2020.

The Eagles had a winning game plan on offense, but another passive defensive effort, coupled with the Chargers having the ball in the final minutes resulted in another frustrating home loss.

There were positives like Nick Sirianni’s approach to running the football, but it ended up being another Sunday where both sides of the ball struggled to gain any cohesion.

Here are 10 takeaways from Sunday’s defeat.

Davion Taylor keeps on playing well for the Eagles

Davion Taylor is making the most of his opportunity for the Eagles.

Another week of the NFL has come and gone. With it, one former Colorado Buffaloes star continues to make strides.

No, surprisingly it isn’t Laviska Shenault Jr. or Phillip Lindsay. Instead, it is Philadelphia Eagles linebacker, Davion Taylor.

The 2020 third-round draft pick has played more often over the past month or so, and Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers was the busiest of his career.

Although the Eagles lost on a last-second field goal, Taylor notched a career-high in tackles with six on the date to go with two assists. He was all over the place and is giving the coaching staff and the defense a much-needed presence.

On Sunday, Taylor stuffed star running back Austin Ekeler and flashed his brilliant closing speed and play recognition.

Prior to this Sunday, Taylor’s career-high was just three tackles. He did that twice but is finally coming into his own and making the Eagles brass smile after a successful Day Two draft selection.

Earlier in the week, the Eagles released veteran Eric Wilson and cited the emergence of Taylor as one major reason.

Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon raved about Taylor as well, according to Dave Spadaro of Eagles.com.

“We’re excited about Davion. He keeps improving.”

Well, so far it is working. More snaps and more work for Taylor and the former Buffs linebacker is making the most of this opportunity.

So far so good for Davion Taylor, and this is only the beginning for the young Eagles defender.
