Preseason Week 1 Post Game Depth Chart Prediction

How do you think this looks? Have one of your own? Post here.

I think Byrd has solidified the 5th WR spot. We could use him especially if Samuel has injury issues throughout the season. Clay also is our best PR man. He had 10.6 yards per average for the Ravens and 15 yards per average in college. That's an eye opener and he displayed his talent last night.

I also didn't notice us use a FB hardly at all on offense. That's what makes me think we carry only 1 FB and stash Armah on the PS as he learns and grows for the future. This will also allow us to carry 6 WRs (or anyone extra on the depth chart, depends on how you view it). 

For the 9th OL spot, I see Amini taking that as we could use all the depth at tackle that we can get even though Moton or Williams could slide over in that spot in a pinch. 

For defense I thought Southward did a good job. He has experience already and that is sorely needed for depth at the safety position. I could also see us carrying 5 safeties with L.J. McCray being the 5th with Southward playing the S/CB role due to absolutely nothing behind our 4 locks at the CB position.

The only other guy I could see making it is Boulware if he steps up. I would be warry of stashing him on the PS. I could see Horton or one of the 4th RBs go if he shows something this preseason. Although it's hard for me to imagine Rivera cutting either Whittaker or CAP. We've cut Horton like 3 times already though right?

With Gano you can never tell if he could get cut or not with this coaching staff. Gano appears to be one of Rivera's guys, but if he misses a couple more while Butker continues making his, especially at 50+, he would be dumb for not cutting him.

Elder may start the season on IR. Would allow us another CB.

 

I don't see Gano making this roster. 

Hope you're right.  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  Keeping Gano is insane.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
