Depth Chart Projections


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

The defensive front 7 is the real mystery.  Which 4-3 DTs are sliding to end?  Which 4-3 DEs are moving to OLB?  Oustside of that, the depth chart isn't that difficult to predict. 

Chinn, I think, plays big nickle and primarily is a LB this season.

With the 7 remaining spots I think we bring in an OT, WR, TE, RB, edge/OLB, S and camp kicker.

Fitterer has indicated they're not necessarily going to fill all 90 spots.

(have to assume Reich agrees with this)

I thought I saw him say not fill it all with UDFA's, keeping spots open for vets and XFL guys

Could turn out that way.

The quotes I've seen only said that we weren't necessarily going to fill all 90 spots. If there was a rationale given, I didn't see it quoted.

That was in reference to UDFA signings.

Defense is going to be tough to gauge.   Will Luvu stay at ILB?  Where will Tuttle play (End or NT)?  Will Rowe play CB?  What to do with YGM?  Will Robinson play nickel?  Will Roy, Taylor, and Franklin make the team?  Will either or all of the UDFAs Bumper Pool, Redmond, or Leota make the roster? 

I keep a depth chart to help me see the big picture--this is where I am.  The color coding:  Red text is a new free agent, blue shading is a new draft pick, Orange shading is a roster spot on the bubble, and gray shading represents an UDFA who could make the roster (does not mean he will or even probably will--it means that he has the skills to possibly challenge for position.)

Obviously, there are MANY ways to create a depth chart at this point, but this is where my head is right now--focused on finding the starting 25 for the defense, this features all players who might have a shot--in my view--as of May 1, 2023.

I'd share that Franklin was one of the best special teamers in the league last year... he was even a pro bowl alternate. Id be surprised if he was on the bubble.

Smith, I think, will play outside.  Dude has too much speed to waste sifting through the trash.  I would honestly try to trade YGM.  He's an oddball at this point. 

Overall, looks pretty solid.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
