Updated Eagles roster, depth chart ahead of 2023 NFL Draft
They say the feelings you get from winning and losing are almost identical and the only difference between the two is the way you’re treated by the outside world. Try telling a Philadelphia Eagles fan that, right now. Let’s get something straight. Losing is worse, much worse. Let’s just say that it has been a rough stretch.
It’s been a little over two months since the Birds came four points short of hoisting a second Vince Lombardi Trophy and the confetti fell on the Kansas City Chiefs. Why then does it feel like it’s been six months? Even the scouting combine feels like ancient history.
Issues with time aside, the winners and losers of Super Bowl LVII begin almost identical journeys now. Neither team owns a win or a loss, and the next phase of the offseason brings us to yet another selection meeting, and that would have been the case had Philly actually closed the deal.
Another season is in our rearview mirror and another sits on the horizon. First things first. We have an NFL Draft to tackle.
Here’s a look at the projected Eagles roster/depth chart ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Every offseason represents a chance to improve. There isn’t much more that Birds fans could have hoped for last season.. other than an NFL Comeback Player of the Year trophy for Brandon Graham, a Coach of the Year Trophy for Nick Sirianni, an MVP award for Jalen Hurts, and another Lombardi for the shelf. Let’s just say we’re still a little petty.
Before we can right those wrongs however we need to construct the 53-man roster. Here’s a look at where we currently sit before the Eagles add a few Birds to the nest at the next NFL Draft.
