Depth Chart as of 3/16/23 (The way I see it, for now)

[MHS831]

To help myself comprehend and understand the roster, I always develop a depth chart to help me see the roster.  It may seem weak in some areas, for example, as of now, our starting LG is also our swing T.  Not sure how they will use Luvu or Chinn, but I guess.  So here are my takes--feel free to view and modify.

OFFENSE

Left tackle	Left Guard	Center	Right Guard	Right Tackle
Ekwonu	Christensen	Bozeman	Corbett	Moton
(BC)	Mays	Tecklenburg	Brown (PS)
Wide Receiver	Tight End	Quarterback	Running Back	Fullback/Hback
	Hurst		Sanders	(Ricci)
Marshall	Thomas	Dalton	Hubbard
	Tremble	Eason  (PS)	Blackshear
Shenault	Ricci	Corral (PS)	Brown (PS)
Smith	Sullivan (PS)
Wright  (PS)
Saunders

29/25 Roster spots  (including colored blanks—will need to cut 4 from this list—2 QBs, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE

DEFENSE

Edge /OLB	Defensive End	Nose Tackle	Defensive End	Edge/OLB
Burns	Williams	Tuttle	Brown	Haynes
Luvu		McCall	Gross-Matos	Barno
		Roy (PS or cut)
Cornerback	Linebacker		Linebacker	Cornerback
Horn	Chinn		Thompson	Jackson
Taylor	Smith			Henderson
			(Luvu?)	Thom-Oliver (PS)
	Safety		Safety
	Woods		Bell
			Franklin
	(Chinn)

25 spots, counting colored blanks

Yellow Blanks: Where we must add an impact player

Orange Blanks:  Where we need depth

NEEDS/PRIORITIES  (4 Primary are indicated in yellow; 4 secondary needs are indicated with orange)

1.       #1 Quarterback

2.       #1 Wide Receiver

3.       DE (Rotational)

4.       #3 Wide Receiver

5.       Linebacker (depth)

6.       OT (depth)

7.       Cornerback (depth)

8.       Safety (depth)

It's starting to form a decent looking roster.  We just need to address our WR group and some depth?

Looking at this we really need some OL depth. We had to cut Pat but man is it bare behind our starting 5. Our starting 5 is incredible and I'm thrilled about it but especially with BC and Corbett coming off somewhat serious injuries we need some depth. Mays is fine but the other 2 are not. Wonder if we bring back Erving, we could do much worse for backup OT than him and he should come cheap.

Yes, if we lose a T, we'd have to pull BC outside and probably put Cade Mays at LG.  Sorta like we did Travelle Wharton, but I think that puts you at a disadvantage because you have 1 injury and get weaker at 2 positions.

Shaq Thompson and Chinn Tandem are TINY for 3-4. We need to start thinking about Shaqs future and rumors were that we were.

I think Reich is taking a similar approach to building this team as they did in Philly 2016.  They picked up Wentz in the draft, had a decent line, rb, te and defense, but the wrs were weak.  The roster had many holes which were all addressed in year 2, where they won the superbowl.

The OL was a 4-5 year project to overhaul. Still in process.

thats wrong man. I was told back in mid February that we had no depth and were one of the worst rosters in the league.  Bc Feb rosters = final rosters.

nice work 

[Mr. Scot]

I think Luvu starts over Haynes

[Bear Hands]

Fair assessment for the most part. 

YGM seems a bit like an odd man out IMO.  Do wonder if we've tried to send him elsewhere this offseason.

Not really fast enough to be an edge rusher. Don't know that he's good enough inside to be a 3-4 DE.

Definitely a question mark...

We just re-worked Shaq's contract so he's staying here. And his size really isn't an issue for 3-4 ILB. Chinn is small but he's a playmaker near the LoS and we'll find somewhere to put him where he'll have way more success than he has had the past couple years miscast as a FS.

I suppose he could work as a rotational DE in Evero's scheme, but I'm unsure how his above-avg run defense holds up in a 3-4 vs. 4-3.  Think he's just out of place but I've been wrong before
