Inside The Iggles: Eagles pre-training camp depth chart
The front seven:
This is, without question, the most solid and deepest unit on the defensive side of the ball.
The defensive ends:
Right defensive end:
- RDE1: Chris Long
- RDE2: Vinny Curry
- RDE3: Derek Barnett
Side note: A lot of interest is being placed in Marcus Smith‘s story and where he’ll fall on the depth chart. Currently, we see him as the fourth defensive end on the right side.
Left defensive end:
- LDE1: Brandon Graham
- LDE2: Steven Means
- LDE3: Alex McCalister
The interior defensive line:
Right defensive tackle:
- RDT1: Fletcher Cox
- RDT2: Elijah Qualls
- RDT3: Gabe Wright
We see Destiny Vaeao as the fourth defensive tackle on the right side.
Left defensive tackle:
- LDT1: Timmy Jernigan
- LDT2: Beau Allen
- LDT3: Justin Hamilton
The linebackers:
Middle linebacker:
- MLB1: Jordan Hicks
- MLB2: Joe Walker
- MLB3: Don Cherry
Strong side linebacker:
- SLB1: Nigel Bradham
- SLB2: Najee Goode
Weakside linebacker:
- WLB1: Mychal Kendricks
- WLB2: Kamu Grugier-Hill
- WLB3: Nathan Gerry
We all know the linebacker corps is thin and there’s a theory that Kendricks may not be around when the season starts. Don’t be surprised if Philly releases him and still goes on to make another move or two before the regular season starts.
