3 Huge questions surrounding the Eagles defensive tackle position

Could the Eagles move on from Marlon Tuipulotu after a single season?

Let’s say this Eagles team plans to keep four defensive tackles on the 53-man roster. If that’s a correct assumption, we may be approaching gridlock.

Regardless of what the plans are for the future, Cox and Hargrave will make the active roster. We know that. So will rookie Jordan Davis. Last year’s third-round selection, Milton Williams, figures to be safe too. That means 2021 sixth-rounder, Marlon Tuipulotu, has a lot to think about.

So do Marvin Wilson, Renell Wren, undrafted rookie Noah Elliss, and newly-added Kobe Smith. They’re all probably staring up at Tuipulotu on the depth chart, but as of now, it appears that all of those guys have some slight cause for concern.

What should we expect from this unit rotationally?

The expectation is that the addition of all of those small but speedy linebackers and the selection of Jordan Davis means the Birds may have thoughts of the 3-4 defensive base set on their minds.

Sure, there’s also the theory that multiple fronts could be employed to keep offenses guessing
