Mr. Eko was supposed to be a significant character (whose arc was supposed to last for four seasons, except the actor didn't like Hawaii), but hisshortened story still provides a lot of clues as a lot of it involved the Smoke Monster.
The Monster scanned him during their first meeting, at which point it deemed him worthy of something much like it did with Locke in season one.
The Monster decided to kill him when he refused to atone for his sins to the image of his brother Yemi (who then tells him, "you speak to me as if I wereyour brother"). This is the opposite of Ben, who does admit to his sins and is spared.
When Eko tells Locke, "you're next," it means that Locke is the Smoke Monster's next target. The Monster had been after possession ofLocke's body since season one, when it scanned him then tried pulling him down the hole several episodes later.
Remember, I think that the Monster is a form or a weapon of Jacob's rival, the guy in the black shirt.
