# Jeff Kerr: Kerr lays out the Eagles' defensive end depth chart, naming Jonathan Greenard, Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa as the club's top five at the position, which is why waived Tae'Quon Graham had little chance of sticking. **Claimed:** Aug 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeff Kerr — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jeff-kerr **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/eagles/onsi/eagles-waive-ta-quon-graham-what-roster-move-could-come-next-01kz3s5x8c9v 5 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Listed as a defensive end, the Eagles are crowded there with Jonathan Greenard, Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie, and A.J. Epenesa a sthe top five. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jalyx Hunt to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jalyx Hunt, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **A.J.
