The Eagles’ needs at the wide receiver, safety and cornerback positions are well-documented, but several other long-term depth concerns should also be addressed this offseason.

While the Eagles have a solid base of talent, injuries over the past two seasons have exposed their lack of depth and youth at several positions.

The Eagles are projected to have 10 draft picks this offseason, so instead of addressing their depth concerns in free agency, they are more likely to wait until the selection process in April.

Adding young, talented depth to the roster will be the key to the Eagles’ future success. While some positions don’t need immediate reinforcements, adding those potential insurances policies now would be beneficial, given the Eagles’ high number of draft assets.

Here are three under-the-radar depth needs that should be addressed during April’s draft:

1. Center

The Eagles have an All-Pro at center in Jason Kelce. However, after a couple of years of flirting with retirement, it’s time for the Eagles to find Kelce’s version of Andre Dillard. While the Eagles won’t need to spend a first-round pick on an interior lineman, the team should try to target Kelce’s eventual successor in the middle rounds of the draft. The strategy here is to get younger, so addressing the need in free agency with a veteran would be foolish.

The Eagles are training Nate Herbig at the center position, and Isaac Seumalo could be in the running to eventually take over for Kelce, but adding a natural center to the mix makes sense as well. Someone like Washington’s Nick Harris would make sense, as he has the positional versatility to play guard or center, and like Kelce, specializes in blocking in space. Harris is expected to go in the fourth or fifth round of the draft, per The Draft Network’s Jonah Tuls.

2. Tight End

The Eagles run a lot of 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends) on offense. While Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert form the best tight end tandem in the league, last season proved they need a third guy in the room. When Ertz suffered a scary ribs injury in Week 16, the Eagles were forced to sign Richard Rodgers at the last minute to replace him. The Eagles have Josh Perkins, who performed admirably down the stretch of last season, but they should still look to give him some competition during training camp.

Ertz will turn 30 this season, and while he is likely to receive a contract extension, adding young talent to the depth chart is still a smart move with 10 picks to spare. Vanderbilt’s Jared Pinkney, Purdue’s Bryce Hopkins and LSU’s Stephen Sullivan could be options on Day 3 for the Eagles.

3. Quarterback

The Eagles will probably add a veteran quarterback to back up Carson Wentz this offseason. However, the developmental quarterback role should be wide open. While Kyle Lauletta is under contract, Nate Sudfeld could head elsewhere for a backup job. Even if Sudfeld were to return as the veteran backup, the third spot would still be open.

The Eagles would be wise to develop a long-term, cheap backup behind Wentz. The team has already invested a lot of money in the franchise quarterback, who is now a seasoned vet, so adding an experienced backup is less essential. While the team would be smart to add an experienced arm this offseason, future years may not need a similar insurance plan. Quarterback prospects like Virginia’s Bryce Perkins and Washington State’s Anthony Gordon could appeal to the Eagles on Day 3 of the draft.
