Here are the guys who aren’t on the list and should be.

1. Malcolm Jenkins

Contrary to what you saw in Avengers: Endgame, Iron Man isn’t dead. He’s alive and well, and he plays for the Eagles. Malcolm Jenkins played every defensive snap a season ago. Here’s a question. If Wentz is penalized for his injury history, why isn’t Jenkins celebrated for always being available?

2. Brandon Graham

Brandon Graham will be a part of a defensive end rotation that includes Derek Barnett, Shareef Miller, Vinny Curry, Josh Sweat, and, possibly, Daeshon Hall. That’s bad enough on a defensive coordinator and his offensive line, but then, there’s the defensive interior. Fletcher Cox, Malik Jackson, and Timmy Jernigan will frustrate the other team’s guards and centers all year round.

That will provide multiple opportunities for Graham and company. Watch out. The old man may have another big year.
