SanFransico 49ers have the most problems at QB (especially last season) than I can remember in a long time. I think Jalen is such a tough player much like RT Lane Johnson that I don't think the Eagles really need to have three QBs on the active roster.  Don't forget Greg Ward Jr. used to play QB at Houston and converted to WR after going undrafted in college. He can be the 3rd if they keep him as at WR as a backup. (Of course I didn't have him in the list of making the final cut but Howie will probably keep him one last season). He did leave the preseason game with leg cramps, and not sure if he is injured.

One thing is for sure when I started to type this up I thought wow how hard ii was for me to picks some of this guys. it must be incredibly hard for the coaches (which is a good thing - you always want so much talent on the bench that you have a hard time chosing). It shows great depth on the team because you never know when the injury bug will hit.

I enjoyed reading yours as well.

I don’t see how the Eagles can only go with 2 quarterbacks. If they don’t protect McKee they will lose him. Unless he really plays poorly in the next two games he’s almost a lock to make the team besides when was the last time an Eagles starting quarterback played a full season with out getting injured or benched at some point?

Heck, both the cowboys and the giants wanted Clayton Thorson after we released him and he set the bar for awful. No team is going to go with just 2 QBs unless they were unable to find a QB3 worth keeping. Last year we jumped all over Ian Book and kept him protected on the 53 all year. Because of that, I expected him to show better than what we saw Saturday.

Notes and Questions on your statement above....

QB-      Why would they keep more than 2?  No question that Jalen Hurts remains the starter for the entire season (no injuries this year). The thought is that Mariota is a lock for number 2 but you never know with GM Howie Roseman he might cut Mariota/trade and keep McKee. Book it that Book is a camp arm only.

I would be really shocked if the Philadelphia Eagles went into week 1 of the regular season with more than two QBs on the depth chart.

2- Jalen Hurts, Marcus Mariota          Unsure so fare correct but with McKee there at 3

-------------------------

RB-      Honestly the hardest thing to predict on guessing the Eagles starting Depth Chart. Definetly a running back by committee maybe never a true #1 RB in this depth chart but rather roating out during the game. That being said somebody has to be #1 so we will go with the majority and say D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell #2, Rashaad Penny #3 and they probably will keep the NY Giant killer with Boston Scott. Yep why not keep all 4 RBs on a team that loves to run?
Sorry Trey Sermon, you was playing a lot in the first PreSeason game because they are trying to make him look good maybe for a trade. Of course still two weeks of Preseason so maybe he can prove them wrong.

4-  Swift, Gainwell, Penny, Scott     Guessed correctly and in order of depth chart.

--------------------------

WR-     Outside WR - AJ Brown  & Smity- No question to who the outside WRs are and they will start and play as much as possible however the slot WR is up for the taking and a lot of guys are making it hard to guess. It's not a given that its Quez. It could be Joseph Ngata (who will most likely be a backup to AJ Brown if he makes the cut) or Johnny King (cool sounding name), J. Haselwood, or Zaccheaus whom the Eagles signed because they are doubtful on Quez this year. Brian Covey was the ST guy last year does he make the cut this year?

6- Brown, Smith, Watkins, Zaccheaus, Ngata, Covey   Got first four right but Ngata cut & Covey ?

---------------------

TE-   I feel as if the top 3 are locked in pretty solid leaving only the fourth TE spot up for debate I went with the rookie despite being 4 inches shorter than the others.

4-  Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, and Brady Russell   Got first 3 right but Brady gone

--------------------------

OL-    I have total faith in Jeff Stoutland I am sure who ever he has starting has earned it and will destroy the opponets that being said I assume it is future HOF Kelce at Center, RT - Lane Johnson, and LT - Jordan Mailata, LG Dickerson leaving on the RG position up for debate but it appears Cma Jurgens will start this season at that role.

9 Jason Kelce C, LG Landon Dickerson, RG- Cam Jurgens, RT- Lane Johnson, LT-Mailata, backups-Jack Driscoll, Tyler Steen, Sua Opeta, Brett Toth  Got all right excetp Toth Fred Johnson instead.

 

25 total offense leaving 28  (*2 extra not active)

------------------

Defense

DL-     The Veterans I feel remain the starters with one difference Jalen Carter.  The thought is Jalen Carter is Jordon Davis back up to start the game but based on the one and only preseason play I wonder if he gets the start over Davis.

9 LDE Brandon Graham, LDT Fletcher COX, RDT- Jalen Carter, RDE Josh Sweat backups- Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Tarron Jackson, Derek Barnett, and Marion Tupulotu  Got all right except Jackson replaced with Ojomo & Barnett will be traded so Street could have a spot.

LB-     I still feel that Nakoe Dean is not only the leader of this pack but the number 1 talented LB in skill other than Reddicks ability to get after the QB.

6- MILB Nakobe Dean backup Myles Jack, WOLB- Nick Morrow, backup-Zach Cunningham and of course SOLB Haason Reddick backup Nolan Smith Got this wrong Myles retired, morrow cut, Zach starts and Patrick Johnson is in.

CB- I agree but I would even make it 7 corners to keep this year.

7- LCB- Darius Slay backup Josh Jobe and Eli Ricks, RCB-James Bradberry, backup- Kelee Ringo
Nickel CB- Avonte Maddox backup- Zech McPhearson  Mario Goodrich in for Zech due to ir otherwise i got correct.

Safety - It would seem that Reed has done enough to prove himself the starter at Free Safety and Sydney Brown keeps killing it in Preseason he might take that slot though if not one of them starts at Strong Safety.

3-  Reed Blankenship backup Sydney Brown, SS Terrell Edmunds Got right except Justin Evans added too.

25 Total Defense leaving 3 (plus 2 extra non-active)

 

-----------------------

Special Teams

the last 3

Kicker - Jake Elliot

Punter - Arryn Siposs

LS- Rick Lovato

-----------------------

 

 

 

 

I got it really close to what they came up with though.

 

Are 4 wide receivers enough? Feel like we should have 5 on the active roster

They'll probably end up elevating Covey as WR 5 after they've used his 3 game day activations.  Honestly we barely used a 5th WR last year so I doubt we'd miss one that much.

yeah, but we were pretty healthy last year. You never know if that's going to be the case every season
