Who are locks to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster?

Which players are locks to make the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster?

The Eagles have a lot of individual talent and one of the top overall rosters in the NFL, making this one of the easier evaluation periods as training camp approaches in just nine days.

Outside of the safety position, there aren’t many holes, with most of the intense roster battles involving backup spots on both sides of the ball.

Philadelphia’s 22 projected starters are set at every position except safety (Epps, Tartt), and of the 53 roster spots, we’ve predicted 41 guys are locks to make the roster.

Ranking the Philadelphia Eagles rookies by potential impact in 2022

The Eagles finished the 2022 NFL draft with five players selected, and followed that up by signing 12 undrafted free agents to deals before their initial rookie minicamp.

Philadelphia’s five-man class offers the potential for two immediate starters on defense, and three key backups at interior offensive line, edge rusher, and tight end.

The 12-man undrafted free agent class offers the potential for key contributors at running back, cornerback, and edge rusher as well, but time will tell and the team won’t be together again until the start of training camp on July, 26.

With the Eagles on an extended break, here’s a ranking of Philadelphia’s rookies by potential impact in 2022.

The Philadelphia Eagles returned to the practice field for the third day of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), where the offense and defense continue to put work in ahead of training camp in late July.

With no mandatory minicamp scheduled, the Birds will meet for three days next weekend before breaking until the start of preseason actions.

Here’s a look at the best photos from Philadelphia’s OTAs, including a look at quarterback Jalen Hurts, first-round pick Jordan Davis, and all-world wide receiver, A.J. Brown.

The Eagles are in Week 4 of their nine-week offseason workout routine for all 32 teams with the training programs broken down into three phases, no mandatory minicamp for the vets and an already completed rookie camp held after the draft.

There have been some new additions to the roster since the 2022 NFL draft, and we’re taking an early look at Philadelphia’s 90-man offseason roster by jersey number:

Highlights of the Philadelphia Eagles 2022 undrafted free agent class of 12 players

The Philadelphia Eagles officially welcomed 5 new members to their roster with their 2022 NFL draft class, and the wealth of young talent set to hit the roster won’t be reduced to that group of players.

After drafting no cornerbacks in the draft, Philadelphia added four cover guys through undrafted free agency. They also signed three offensive linemen.

Eagles sign former Idaho DT Noah Elliss to a massive undrafted free agent deal

Philadelphia Eagles sign former Idaho DT Noah Elliss to a massive undrafted free agent deal

Philadelphia drafted a monster defensive tackle in the first round of the draft and then doubled back to add a monster in undrafted free agency.

Aaron Wilson is reporting that the Eagles are adding Idaho defensive tackle, Noah Elliss on an undrafted free agent deal. The younger brother of current Eagles linebacker Christian Elliss, Noah is the nephew of former Lions’ first-round pick Luther Elliss.

Elliss signed with Mississippi State as a four-star recruit before pivoting to Idaho, where Luther is the defensive line coach.

In 2019, Noah started four of five games played (11 tackles) before suffering a season-ending injury.

This past season he broke out as an honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference selection after logging 46 tackles, 6.5 for loss with one sack, three pass breakups.

Lions 2022 NFL draft: A defensive tackle for every round

This isn’t a great DT class but the Lions could find some useful reinforcements in the draft

Putting a bow on the series of positional scouting reports for the Detroit Lions in the 2022 NFL draft. Last up are the defensive tackles, an area where the team has a definite need with Nick Williams leaving in free agency and veteran Michael Brockers entering the final year of his contract.

Lions 2022 NFL draft: A tight end for every round

Lions 2022 NFL draft: A quarterback for every round

The focus here is on more athletic tackles who can play the 3-tech through the 5-tech, which is technically a DE spot. When the Lions use three linemen, the DE spot tends to be a bigger guy (Brockers, Levi Onwuzurike), so players who have some positional versatility get lifted up a bit. Detroit has Alim McNeil and John Penisini at the nose tackle spot and that’s a decent tandem, though more depth would always be nice.

The purpose here isn’t to advocate for or against any specific player. This is about presenting the options that are likely available to the Lions (and other NFL teams) at the position in each round. We’ll go through the options at each position, and we’ll also include projections for the fourth and seventh rounds, where the Lions do not currently hold a pick.
