Predicting the Eagles defensive depth chart after mandatory minicamp

Ranking the Eagles’ 17 free agent signings by PFF grades

The Eagles have departed the NovaCare Complex until late July, where they’ll return for training camp with a deep and versatile depth chart and an overall roster starting to take shape.

Philadelphia previously had the lightest OTA workload of any team in the league, but that changed after last season’s collapse. The team had six OTA sessions before three days of mandatory minicamp (June 4-6) that gave some insight into who’ll make the roster and potential bubble players.
