You'll also notice many of the guys(aside from rookies) who were buried toward the bottom of the depth chart ultimately never made the roster. 

 

Heres last years starters for week 1 http://www.pro-football-reference.com/

/201409070tam.htm

Maybe it was a fluke but the week 1 starters remained the same aside,from Velasco getting the start over Turner, which would change later. 

 

On defense Klein moved ahead of Blackburn.

 

Then of course as the season progressed, whether by injury or perfomance related, Norwell took over at LG,Turner took over the RG spot, Rimmers won the RT job,

Brown eventually took over for Cotchery.

 

Then on D, Short unseated Cole, Norman and Benewikere got the corner jobs(cason got cut) and Tre Boston eventually won the FS spot. Then DE became a rotation of Addison, Horton and Ealy after Hardy poo went down.

 

All that being said, these early depth charts are mainly based off (I assume) training camp reps. Preseason is where most roster battles are won or ultimately lost. 

 

89 players listed out of the potential 90. Can only go 4 deep, but Brandon Williams is absent from this list. May confirm my theory on this being based off training camp reps, as it seems he's been out a lot right?

Who in the world would even post this hot garbage? It really makes me wonder if the people that work in sales/marketing/IT/PR even watch football.

Well it's required by the NFL before every game. And given that it truly means next to nothing at this point of the season, but that we all have a job to do, I wouldn't read much into the people "responsible" for it.
